Ferrum setup guide

Connect the Cables

With the USB ports on the Ferrum facing you, plug in cables like this:

Install the CP210x Driver

Download the CP210x Driver package for Windows. Extract the contents of the zip file and run install.bat. This driver is needed for your PC to communicate with the Ferrum board.

Install the Ferrum App

Download and run the ferrum-installer.exe from the Ferrum Discord #tool-download channel.

Verify Board Connection

If everything was successful, you should be able to view your connected Ferrum board(s) in the Boards tab.

If your menu says "No Boards Connected", make sure your board is plugged in as shown in Step 1, and check the Testing USB Cables section to make sure your cables are good.

Select Your Device Type

If your device is your main keyboard, select it as only a Keyboard. If it is your main mouse, select it as a Mouse (the default option). If it is both your main mouse and keyboard, meaning they both share the same USB receiver/dongle, you can select both Mouse and Keyboard options. You can also change your language in the bottom left corner of the app.

Connect Your Software

Finally, to connect your provider's software to Ferrum, simply use the COM Port shown in the Serial API tab, or the IP address and port in the Net API tab. Tipsy Aim automatically detects and connects to the Ferrum, no manual setup needed. See the Connecting Software section for more details on other providers.
