URG Series USB Device Driver (COM6) Driver

The URG Series USB Device Driver (COM6) driver enables Windows to communicate with a compatible Hokuyo Automatic URG series sensor over USB through a virtual serial port. It is intended for users setting up supported laser range sensors for measurement, robotics, or development software that requires a COM-port connection.

Key Features

• USB communication support: Provides the driver interface needed for compatible Hokuyo URG hardware to exchange data with Windows applications.
• Virtual COM-port access: Allows compatible software to connect using a serial-port designation such as COM6. The actual port number may vary depending on your computer’s configuration.
• Legacy Windows compatibility: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows version and system architecture.
• Application connectivity: Helps supported sensor software detect and access the device. Separate software may be needed to configure the sensor or display measurements.

How to Install URG Series USB Device Driver (COM6) Driver

1. Check your system and sensor. Confirm your Hokuyo model, Windows edition, and whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 setups, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported operating systems; verify compatibility with the manufacturer before proceeding.
2. Select the appropriate package. Before starting your URG Series USB Device Driver (COM6) driver download for Windows, review the package’s supported devices and operating systems. Choose a trusted free download from the manufacturer or another verified source.
3. Extract and install the driver. If the download is compressed, extract it first. Run the included installer and follow its instructions, including any guidance about when to connect the sensor.
4. Use Device Manager if needed. If no installer is provided, locate the connected sensor in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify the connection. Check Device Manager for the assigned COM port and any warning icons. Select that same port in your compatible sensor application; do not assume it will always be COM6.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection problems or supports your software requirements. Check the latest version against your exact sensor model and Windows release before you update, and retain a working driver package in case you need to restore your previous setup.
