Windows Drivers 

Now you've built the hardware, compiled the source, you are ready to go. All being well when you connect the PIC to the PC, windows should request the drivers, if not go back and check the hardware and that the PIC programmed correctly.

The drivers we shall be using are the standard Microchip ones, unmodified. These may be changed to alter the icon, change the device class etc... however this isnt the place to explain all that, all being well a new article might come out containing this information.

The drivers can be found below, or in the Complete code at the start of the article.

Hopefully you shouldn't have any issues installing these (as long as windows ask's for them, you should be in the clear), so I'll assume you are all technically competent enough to do this (as you are designing USB stuff after all!!).

Once the drivers are installed correctly, two of the LED's connected to the pic should be flashing alternatively to indicate the connection has been established.
