Trying to get the cp210x usb to uart bridge virtual com port vcp driver to install on my windows 7 machine. Silicon laboratories cp210x vcp drivers for windows 2000xp3 - this review pertains to the latest version of the cp210x family of usb to uart bridge virtual com port vcp drivers from silicon labs inc. Cp2102 or usb to the build.

About the App

Aug 15, 2017 Hello, I am trying to install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers on my windows 10 laptop for my ESP8266 ESP-12E NodeMCU (an arduino compatible wifi module), but I am not having much luck. MAC OS Driver (Virtual COM Port) for STM32 USB. Posted on April 27, 2016 at 11:41. Hi, Anyone knows how to use STM32 USB as virtual com port under MAC OS? NodeMCU v1.0 Driver The first step on the mac is to install drivers. These are a driver that can communicate to that little square chip (CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP) we mentioned before: Download it to your Downloads folder. Windows Drivers and Installation Instructions To use the CP2102 on a computer running Mac OS X, you should download and install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers from Silicon Labs for Mac OS X.

  • App name: CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver
  • App description: silicon-labs-vcp-driver (App: Silicon Labs VCP Driver.pkg)
  • App website: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx

Install the App

  1. Press Command+Space and type Terminal and press enter/return key.
  2. Run in Terminal app:
    ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)' < /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask 2> /dev/null
    and press enter/return key.
    If the screen prompts you to enter a password, please enter your Mac's user password to continue. When you type the password, it won't be displayed on screen, but the system would accept it. So just type your password and press ENTER/RETURN key. Then wait for the command to finish.
  3. Run:
    brew cask install silicon-labs-vcp-driver

Done! You can now use CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver.

In Part 1 of this article we looked at preparation and IoT tool selection, getting all tools ready. In this post will set up our development environment and make NodeMCU alive with some code.

I will use ready NodeMCU unit with mini USB connector to link this to my MAC. But before that we need to do some configuration.

  1. Install and configure Arduino IDE
  2. Add Arduino ESP8266 extension to IDE
  3. Install USB drivers
  4. Test the unit commnication with IDE
  5. Load some code to test

Install Arduino IDE download can be found here, download and install the version you need, I use MAC OSX version. Once you launch the IDE it will typically launch with sample loaded Sketch program for popular LED Blink code. A simple Sketch makes LED on/off blinking with some delay.

When I connected my NodeMCU unit to USB it has on board blue LED and it strated blinking before I loaded anythnig. The maker of this unit Oddwires have preloaded that script on NodeMCU and that is ok. Good test to know device is working or not.

Next step we need to add Arduino ESP8266 extension to our IDE for development. Select IDE Arduino > Preferences from menu and enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into the Additional Board Manager URLs field. This will add number of selections to IDE’s Tools->Board menu options

Open Boards Manager from Tools -> Board menu and install esp8266 platform and select NodeMCU 1.0(ESP-12E Module) from Tools > Board menu, after installation. This module corresponds to new NodeMCU development kit 2.0.

Now we need to add USB communictaion to IDE to flash code to NodeMCU. In last post I have mentioned that this dev-kit was built based on CP2102 USB UART chip. We need to install signed drivers for Mac OSX from Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers. You will need to restart MAC OSX for this to take effect after install.Connect NodeMCU unit with mini USB cable to MAC the LED will start blinking indicating normall power and working unit. In the IDE Tools -> Port menu select the Port for your device. In my case I made following selection depending on device:

  1. Upload Speed 115200 fo this unit
  2. Flash Size: 4M (3M SPIFFS)
  3. Port: /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART

Note that Port will not show if device is not connected. Also if you do not see this or similar port selection this means that you do not have correct USB drivers. I had to tinker with this a little by reinstalling USB driver and restarting MAC and reconnecting unit. At this point these selectinos should be all good. Try to change delay(2000); compile Blink sketch.

Now lets try loading this sketch on our device.

After this code loaded, NodeMCU blue LED will start blinking with delay that we set in the code.While this is successful test we can agree blinking LED is not very exciting.

Lets try something more interesting like connect NodeMCU to WiFi and send remote commands to this device. Will make 2 endpoints to turn our LED On/Off on URL command. We can use one of examples provided with ESP8266 extensions, open File > Eamples > ESP8266WebServer select HelloServer. This is a simple HTTP sever example code to setup our commands. Here is a full source code:

Note that on-board LED is contrlled with simple commands

We have added 2 small methods mapped to URL path /on & /off to control LED switching.

Open serial monitor window Tools > Serial Monitor and upload this code to NodeMCU, you will see load progress. If you doing this first time after this load we need ot restart NodeMCU device by disconnect power/unplug MCU. After upload the server will start on device. The Monitor window will print a welcome message along with IP address that we can use to send command to our new IoT device.

Open browser and type URL http://192.168.1.12/on will turn LED light up with blue light. Similar URL http://192.168.1.12/off will switch LED off.

Now lets summ our acomplishments, so far we set up our development system with Arduino IDE for NodeMCU, connected our IoT device and tested it, made connection to our WiFi notwork and started to control NodeMCU from our browser. Very good starting point for IoT development. In the next post will explore how to collect some data and send this to our Cloud API server Part 3 - Sensors with NodeMCU.
