Note: for me that site took a long long time to load, and then it took forever to download this tiny driver, so I put up a copy here CH341SER_MAC.ZIP (256Kb), so that you don't have to wait.This driver appears newer than on the second link, and is from Dec 2013.There are two main sites that people mention in the discussions about the driver: I am leaving instructions just in case someone needs it, or the new driver does not work for someone. This older version requires some hacking in order to get it to work. Note: Please enter System Preferences ➜ Security & Privacy ➜ General, below the title "Allow apps downloaded from:" you should choose the choice 2 ➜ "Mac App Store and identified developers" so that our driver will work normally.

Here is the updated CH341SER_MAC.ZIP (148KB) cached locally, but for other platforms, please checkout their website. Looks like the updated version from their site works now as is. Please leave a comment, if it worked or didn't work for you, especially if you had to do anything special or hacky to make it work :) WindowsĪ fully signed drivers for Windows can be found below: To be honest, as long as I can talk to my Arduino and buy it for $3 a piece, who cares? :)īelow you'll find links to drivers for both Windows and Mac to make these work. I read somewhere that licensing costs of FTDI make it prohibitive to companies selling boards for as little as $3, so I assume this is the main motivation. Recent versions of cheap Chinese clones of Arduino boardshave been coming with a different USB/Serial chip, which replaces the usual FTDI.
