Installing the VEX Drivers Installer for VEX IQ

To use VEX with a Windows computer, you must have the latest VEX Drivers installed. These drivers are essential because they allow your computer to recognize VEX devices and communicate with them properly. Without them, your computer won't know what the devices are or how to interact with them.

Note: These drivers are compatible with all VEX platforms (V5, EXP, etc.). If you've already installed these drivers for another VEX platform, you don't need to reinstall them.

Follow these steps to download and install the VEX Drivers:
