Revolution Virtual COM Port (COM3) Driver

The Revolution Virtual COM Port (COM3) driver lets Windows recognize a compatible Openpilot device connected over USB as a serial communication port. It is intended for users who need their Revolution hardware to communicate with compatible configuration software, especially when the device appears as unknown or its COM port is missing.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides a virtual COM port that compatible applications can use to exchange data with the connected device.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the USB interface so you can locate it under Ports (COM & LPT) in Device Manager.
• Configuration access: Enables the serial connection used by compatible software to communicate with supported Openpilot hardware.
• Windows compatibility: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows release and system architecture.

How to Install Revolution Virtual COM Port (COM3) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, check the device’s hardware IDs if you need to verify that the package matches.
2. Choose the appropriate package. Before starting your Revolution Virtual COM Port (COM3) driver download for Windows, review its compatibility information. Select the latest version that explicitly supports your hardware and operating system. If a free download is offered, verify its source and publisher before opening it.
3. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary. Run the supplied installer, or open Device Manager, right-click the device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
4. Reconnect and verify. After installation, reconnect the hardware using a USB data cable. Check Ports (COM & LPT) for the virtual serial interface. Windows may assign a number other than COM3; this does not necessarily indicate a problem.
5. Select the port in your application. Open compatible configuration software and choose the COM port shown in Device Manager. For Windows 10/11 systems, check support carefully: Windows 10 is listed, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed here.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection problems or supports changes to your system. Before you update a working installation, review the package notes and retain the previous installer so you can restore it if needed.
