      I was trying to start coding with my newly purchased M5StickC and came across a big problem: I wasn't able to get the usb driver for the USB Type-C cable working so I can program from the Arduino IDE. I went through the suggested steps from the documentation but they didn't fix the problem. Can I have some help? BTW, my Arduino IDE is version 1.8.10 and my laptop is running Windows 7.

        @brain-brawn Have you tried turning the "C" end around?
        Have you tried a different cable?

          @brain-brawn Have you tried installing the FTDI drivers (https://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm)? I have found that this solved USB connection problems with obsolete versions of Windows in a couple cases.

            @wikistik I have tried that, but the Windows system seems to be trying to insert a random outdated driver for the USB cable instead of the one you suggested. You're right, though, because on a different Windows 7 computer, I installed the drivers and it started working automatically.
