# DexArm couldn't connect to my computer

## 1) Make sure you are using the `USB A to C` cable to connect DexArm with your computer. 

The Dual USB-C cable won't work. If your computer doesn't have a USB-A port, go get a **USB Hub**.

![USB A-C cable for connecting DexArm with computer.](https://2132465959-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LtPFIBncU5l4J8tl5Yh%2F-MCPZl9jl1yNOtifcL5y%2F-MCP_8lsS_3xVfh4ELdK%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=62e72056-af79-4ab0-8d68-55528321869d)

## 2) Make sure DexArm is physically connected to your computer. 

### 💻**Windows Users**

A. Open **Device Manager** and you should see an **STMxxx COM port** which is for DexArm.

If it doesn't show as an STM port, please [**DOWNLOAD** ](https://www.rotrics.com/pages/download)and install the STM virtual serial driver.&#x20;

* Install W7 if your system is Windows 7.&#x20;
* Install W8 if your system is Windows 8 or 10.&#x20;

B. Open Rotrics Studio to connect DexArm.&#x20;

If couldn't find the port in Rotrics Studio, check the port 1 at the back of DexArm and see if there is a LED blinking or not. If you can see the blinking LED, pleas follow the [**instruction** ](https://manual.rotrics.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-3#3-failed-to-upgrade-rotrics-dexarms-firmware)to update DexArm's firmware with a third-party software.&#x20;
