= Troubleshooting =
Driver not recognized:
- Install CH340 driver manually for Windows (automatic for macOS/Linux)
- For Win10, some versions may require driver rollback to 2014 version
No data transmission:
- Verify TX/RX cross-connection (module TX to target RX, module RX to target TX)
- Check for correct voltage selection (3.3V or 5V)
