= Step 2 - Prepare PC =
== Requirement ==
 * '''Step1''' has been read.
 
== Prepare the PC ==
To check and to adjust the Kopter right after the power-up the KopterTool has to be installed on your PC/Laptop. <<BR>>
To make all your settings with the !KopterTool to your Kopter you need to have a connection between the Kopter and your PC/Laptop. This requires the MK-USB. <<BR>><<BR>>


=== 1. MK-USB ===
First at all you need to solder the both 10-pole pin-header and the 2-pole pin-header for the jumper to the MK-USB board: <<BR>>

(Please make sure you solder properly!)<<BR>><<BR>>

After that the required Windows-driver can be downloaded here: '''[[http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm|VCP-Treiber]]'''  <<BR>>
(Who is using a Linux-PC or a MAC can also download here the appropriate drivers) <<BR>><<BR>>

If the MK-USB is connected to the PC/Laptop it can be installed with the driver.<<BR>><<BR>>

{{{#!wiki tip
'''__INFO__'''

After the installation you can check in the Windows device manager which COM-Port has been asigned for the MK-USB.<<BR>>
That COM-Port must be entered later on in the KopterTool.<<BR>><<BR>>

Into the device manager you can switch also over the control-panel or you enter under '''''>Start >Execute''''' "devmgmt.msc".<<BR>><<BR>>
