It is manufactured by a Chinese company called WinChipHead or WCH (International web site, Chinese web site). Unfortunately, it often causes problems on macOS. This guide helps you resolve any problems you might have with the boards and adapters. Mac USB Drivers¶ USB to serial cables are not merely wire, they contain small computer circuits at one end of the cable that respond as a USB device and convert the data to serial. These cables are not all the same, so the computer needs a software 'driver' so it can recognize the cable and speak to it correctly. Below you can download ch340 mac os x driver for Windows.

#5286 Colin, which version of macOS and how did you set up the USB ports? toggle quoted messageShow quoted textTried it here with Catalina but some problem finding the device on the USB… Dana VE3DS On Oct 19, 2019, at 20:11, zl2arl <colin.larsen@gmail.com> wrote: I've just done the MacOS install, went smoothly, all I had to do was adjust the font size up a bit ;) On Sun, 20 Oct 2019, 12:49 W5DXP, <w5dxp@arrl.net> wrote: That sure does help, Rune.

#5352 Hello Dana, I have been running most of the recent releases of NanoVNA-Saver on my iMac under Mojave 10.14.6. I declined the upgrade to Catalina because several of my expensive software purchases would no longer work. The procedure I use is to plug the NanoVNA into my MAC, turn on the NanoVNA and then launch the Saver program V0.1.3. When the screen paints the USB port is already properly identified and I simply select 'Connect to nanoVNA'. It all works perfectly and has for every release of Saver that I tried starting back at about V0.0.6. Again, this is all under Mojave, not Catalina. If you find the correct incantation for Catalina please let us all know. Good luck, Larry, AE5CZ |
#5353 Hmmm, Larry, so it may be a Catalina issue as it doesn’t find the usb… toggle quoted messageShow quoted textI’ll try it on Mojave and see if that works…thanks for the comments. Oh by the way what version of Python are you using??

#5354 Hi Dana, In OSX the nanoVNA is shown as '/dev/cu.usbmodem4001' Normally rescan will automatically connect. You could try however to manually enter the string above Eric |

#5421 I used the installation process as described on the GitHub nanovna-saver website for installation of nanovna-saver for the Mac OS. It is as follows: Mac OS: Homebrew Install Homebrew From : https://brew.sh/ /usr/bin/ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)' Python : brew install python NanoVNASaver Installation git clone https://github.com/mihtjel/nanovna-saver cd nanovna-saver Change PyQt restriction in setup.py PyQt55.11.2 to PyQt5 Install local pip packages python3 -m pip install . NanoVNASaver All of the above works for me and I believe the Python installation is v3.7.4 Hope this helps. Larry |
#5426 Thanks Larry - good summary toggle quoted messageShow quoted textThis all worked fine on my iMac under High Sierra, however something didnt work properly under Catalina…still trying to trace the issue, something to do with the serial ports… I’ll report back if I can figure it out.

#5427 something didnt work properly under Catalina…still trying to trace the issue,I cannot even use High Sierra because of driver (and Java) issues. macOS has become more restrictive about 3d party kernel extensions or kexts. 'They act as drivers — if you like a Windows analogy — and give access to your Mac’s hardware.' Something done on previous macOS that was inherited by Catalina update could be at issue. Check 'Security & Privacy' under 'System Preferences' 'If a user space driver quits unexpectedly or you restart your Mac, you might need to unplug and reattach the accessory cable to enumerate the driver. (50042397)' 'Driver extensions might not launch on-demand after installation.

#5478 Hi, mine is working fine under Catalina 10.15. NanoVNASaver found the USB port immediately when the VNA was connected and I just clicked to connect to it. Good Luck -- John (VK2JON) |
#5488 Hi John - mine is working fine under Catalina 10.15.Great! If you would try, in Terminal: # with nanoVNA powered off, enter: ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0 | grep 'USB Product Name' > without # then power on nanoVNA and enter: ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0 | grep 'USB Product Name' > nano # finally diff nano without # the result on my Mac shows a 'ChibiOS/RT Virtual COM Port' driver used for nanoVNA < | | 'USB Product Name' = 'IOUSBHostDevice' < | | 'USB Product Name' = 'QUAD-CAPTURE' < | 'USB Product Name' = 'Polar V800' < 'USB Product Name' = 'ChibiOS/RT Virtual COM Port' --- | 'USB Product Name' = 'IOUSBHostDevice' |

#12922 macOS Catalina Version 10.15.4 Rebooted to Recovery Mode Disabled SIP (csrutil disable) Restarted in 'regular' mode device shows up as /dev/cu.usbmodem4001 Used NANOVnA to scope out antenna Rebooted to Recovery Mode Enabled SIP (csrutil ebable) Restarted in 'regular' mode device still shows up as /dev/cu.usbmodem4001 Moral of the story is it worked even after re-enabling SIP. Now I have to get it to work using vmWare Fusion and Windows 7. Hope this is helpful... 73 Mark KG0RMS |
