There is no need to switch between USB drivers. RoasTime may complain about the drivers when it is first started. Look for the green light in the lower left corner as the indication that all is well.
Watch out! For best performance, please start monitoring the roaster before pre-heating. Artisan doesn’t monitor unsafe temperatures, so you should never leave the roaster alone.
Watch out! Running Artisan in parallel with another roast logging software, like RoastTime, connected to the same machine might lead to unstabilities and crashes.
