Installation Steps:

1. Extract the contents of orange5.rar to any location on your PC.
2. Open Windows Device Manager.
3. Connect the Orange-5 programmer to your PC via USB.
4. Locate the Orange-5 device in Device Manager, right-click it, and select Properties → Driver → Update Driver.
5. Navigate to the folder where you extracted orange5.rar and locate the Driver folder. Select the X64 subfolder if your operating system is 64-bit.
6. Install the driver.
7. Disconnect and reconnect the programmer to allow it to reinitialize.
8. Run the program (orange.exe). Depending on your Windows User Account Control settings, you may need to run the software as Administrator. The programmer should initialize and launch correctly.

Troubleshooting

• "Hardware Not Detected" message, but Mode LED is solid blue, and Orange-5 appears normally in Device Manager: Check your USB ports and cable for poor contact, overload, or connection issues — the programmer will not run if the USB connection is unstable.
• Mode LED is blinking: The driver has not been installed correctly. Disconnect and reconnect the programmer, then return to Step 2 and repeat the installation process.
