  1. Right click on the "Arduino Mega 2560" (DropBot) or "Arduino Uno" (OpenDrop) entry and click "Update Driver Software".
  2. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software".
  3. Browse to the folder "MicroDrop/plugins/dmf_control_board" (DropBot) or "MicroDrop/plugins/opendrop_plugin" (OpenDrop) which is located in your "My Documents" folder and click "Next".
  4. Windows will pop up a security error saying that it can't verify the publisher of the driver software. Choose "Install this driver software anyway".
