Driver Installation 

When you initially plug the MP3-WS into your computer, Windows will attempt to load an appropriate driver.  
If an MP3-WS or other HauntBots controller has not previously been installed, you will need to manually 
load the driver. 

 

The exact screens will vary a bit 
between different versions of 
Windows.  The MP3-WS will be 
recognized by Windows as 

CCS 

USB to UART 

rather than

 

HauntBots MP3-WS

.  These 

instructions cover an install on 
Windows 7. 

 

After the computer reports 
that the driver was not 
successfully installed, go 
to device manager to 
install it manually. 

 

 

 

Click the Windows Start Button, right click on 

Computer

 then 

scroll down and click 

Properties.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click 

Device Manager

 in the top left column.
