Hi Cclr,

Sorry to hear you are having troubles updating the modules.

The mcOTA and the mcDongle work hand in hand to load up new firmware to the mcModules. Once you see "Ready" on the mcOTA it means that, mcOTA was able to talk to the mcDongle and is ready for more instructions. So, your drivers should be all good.

Details on update steps:
1. Start mcOTA and make sure it says "Ready". (again  :) ).
2. Click "Search Device". (This start continuous scans for bootloader beacons )
3. Power Cycle your mcModule by taking out the battery and putting it back in. (mcModules always boot in bootloader mode for 5seconds, once the 5sec elapsed it will go to its normal operation and will never go back to bootloader mode until another reboot).
4. Within the 5 seconds bootloader mode you should be able to see population of the Device Information window in the mcOTA. 
5. Click "Start Update" to begin updating the mcModules. Wait until it says "Firmware Update Done".

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
mcGyver
