APRS

Windows

On many machines a manual driver installation is required. Download the CP210x Universal Windows Driver and unzip it. Right click the "silabser.inf" driver installation file and press "Install". The driver installation should be successful now.

Connect the PicoAPRS V2 to the Windows computer, open device manager and check for "Silicon COM" device. Then open Serial Terminal and connect the PicoAPRS with a baud rate of 115200 and RTS/DTR turned off.

Now you can try to receive some APRS packets. Good luck!
