Hi,
I can't see in device manager "crazyflie 2.0" instead of that after connecting I see "STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (COM5)".
Could you help?
Thanks,
Sebastian

You're seeing the correct thing. The Flie reports the serial connection back to the computer. The name "Crazyflie" is a human term, whereas the device the computer sees is a serial connection to the microcontroller.

You can use the serial number from this device if it is really the one that appears when the Crazyflie is connected.
Actually the Crazyflie does not implement a virtual serial port but a custom USB protocol (quite similar to the Crazyradio one). I guess you have previously installed the driver for a stm dev kit or an other device that uses the virtual com port from st. This is not important if you just want the serial number but you will need to install the libusb driver with Zadig if you want to use the Crazyflie 2 wired with Crazyflie client.

Arnaud thanks you shot in ten
. I wanted to take a serial number for propellers.
Second point is Iwould also like to install drivers for wire connection but dont know how. Till now I have PC client installed and CrazyradioPA dongle by Zadig.
How to install crazyflie y Zadig I have problems with that. Driver is automatically installed for STM. After I unistall it and refresh I se by the short time crazyflie 2.0.

Ahh, so even I learned something new today! I was basing my previous response on general windows behavior in the past, my mistake.

Ok guys I just solved it. The problem with installation by Zadig was because windows tried in parllel to install driver as well. I just disabled win automatic installation and Zadig worked successfuly.
Thanks
