Part 2: Pre-Installation – Identify the Exact Hardware ID (VID/PID)

Windows identifies every USB chip by a unique Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID). This is the only safe way to locate the correct driver.

Test with a Loopback (For CH340 GX chips)

  1. Short the TX and RX pins on the GX chip (pins 2 and 3 on a standard 3.3V/5V adapter).
  2. Open PuTTY or Termite on the correct COM port.
  3. Type characters – they should echo back. If they don’t, the driver is installed but the chip is damaged.
