Main section

Installation

1. Connect the interface to your PC using a USB-A to USB-C data cable. The cable is not supplied; a maximum length of 3 m is recommended.
2. The operating system normally installs the driver automatically. The interface then appears in Device Manager as a virtual COM port. See (Fig. 1).
3. If automatic installation fails, install the appropriate Silicon Labs USB-to-UART VCP driver.
4. Install MAV Manager and check its system requirements.

Updating a connected device

1. Disconnect the device from its normal installation and remove attached accessories, following its own manual.
2. Connect the USB interface to the PC, start MAV Manager, open Tools → Device Updater and select the correct COM port.
3. Connect the device to the USB interface using the port specified in that device’s manual. For a T70 or T75, use the Data port and apply external power through B1 or B2 as described there.
4. Select the correct *.BIN file for the connected device and press Update. See (Fig. 2).
5. Wait for the update to complete, then disconnect the device.

Note

The legacy connection illustration shows Mini-USB. For the current USB-C interface, use a USB-A to USB-C data cable; follow the connected device’s manual for the correct device port and any external power supply.
