FTDI the manufacturer of the FTDI FT232RL USB
chip used in KM8 has drivers as well as comprehensive guides to install
those drivers in all the applicable Operating Systems.
There is not a lot more I can add about drivers that
FTDI don't cover in their USB driver guides except to WARN YOU
You should install the FTDI drivers BEFORE you
connect your KM8 to a PC.
Temptation is to just plug it in and Windows knows all
about it.
WRONG!
If you let it (Automatically) Windows will install
some drivers, but they are old and not the best drivers.
Best to install FTDI DRIVERS FIRST before you plug
your KM8 into a PC USB port and then follow the FTDI instructions,
DO NOT just blindly say OK to everything Windows suggests.
All you need to install on your PC, MAC or Linux
