The CH340 chip is used by a number of Arduino compatible boards to provide USB connectivity, you may need to install a driver, don’t panic, it’s easier than falling off a log, and much less painful.

The Easy IDE is an USB 2.0 to IDE adapter, which allows you directly access to an existing ATA/ATAPI. This Easy IDE is driver-free for Windows. Myson Century CS8818 (EASY IDE) Free Driver Download for Windows 98SE, 98 - EasyIDE.zip. World's most popular driver download site. (EASY IDE) Free Driver Download. Download Digistump.Drivers.zip unzip on your hard disc. Then double click on DPinst (32 bit PC) or DPinst64 (64 bit PC) depending on your system (mine is 64bits). You should now check that windows can see the Digispark - Just plug in the Digispark usb (micro usb connector) and you will hear the USB connection sound. It is necessary to ensure that there is a universal set of drivers on your bootable USB flash drive, sufficient for access to the network and download the rest of the drivers for the computer on which you install the operating system. Today I want to propose a new solution to the problem voiced above.

1. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 enables transfering data stored on already removed SATA/IDE hard disks/disk drives at rates of up to 5 Gbps (about 10 x faster than USB 2.0), making backing up large data volumes significantly easier. The converter also supports USB 2.0, however, at much lower transfer rates. Reading IDE and SATA HHDs simultaneously.
2. USB 2.0 to SATA / IDE Converter Adapter The USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE combo adapter allows users to use IDE or SATA hard drives over a USB 2.0 connection. It works with most IDE (up to ATA 133) and SATA 1.0a devices. This device provides a simple, yet powerful data transfer and backup solution.

This article shows how to download and install the Arduino IDE software and drivers on a Windows 10 computer. Downloading Arduino for Windows 10 Go to the Arduino Software download page where you will find two downloads for Windows – Windows installer and Windows ZIP as shown in the image below. Download the Windows CH340 Driver; Unzip the file; Run the installer which you unzipped; In the Arduino IDE when the CH340 is connected you will see a COM Port in the Tools Serial Port menu, the COM number for your device may vary depending on your system. Older Windows Driver Version and Instructions. Download the Windows CH340 Driver; Unzip.

Windows

(Manufacturer’s Chinese Info Link)

1. Download the Windows CH340 Driver
2. Unzip the file

Older Windows Driver Version and Instructions

1. Download the Windows CH340 Driver
   
2. Unzip the folder.
   
3. If you are running a 64Bit Windows: – run the SETUP_64.EXE installer.
   
4. If you are running a 32Bit Windows: – run the SETUP_32.EXE installer.
   
5. If you don’t know, try the 64 bit and if it doesn’t work, the 32 bit.
   
6. In the Arduino IDE when the CH340 is connected you will see a COM Port in the Tools > Serial Port menu, the COM number for your device may vary depending on your system.
   

Macintosh

(Manufacturer’s Chinese Info Link)

The following github has up to day pkg files for 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 at time of writing, thanks to Joshua Wallis for bringing this to my attention…

Direct Download Links (from the github repo above):

See the github link above for installation instructions if you need them.

Previous macinstosh downloads if the above doesn’t work for you…

(V1.3) Download the CH340 Macintosh Signed Driver for Mavericks (10.9), Yosemite (10.10) and El Capitan (10.11) and Sierra (10.12)

Inside the zip file you will find a PDF and a “pkg” file, short version, double click the pkg file, the PDF has some extra information.

OSX Sierra (10.12) Note

A kindly user, Maarten Segers reports

FYI, the driver documented here WILL crash on OSX Sierra.

I can personally not test on MacOS and can not vouch for the above drivers at github, but there you go.

See uninstalling information at the bottom of the page if the driver causes problems for you.

Here is an older version of the Mac driver, NOT FOR 10.12 Sierra

(V1.0) Download the CH340 Macintosh Signed Driver for Mavericks (10.9), Yosemite (10.10) and El Capitan (10.11)

Linux

(Manufacturer’s Chinese Info Link)

Drivers are almost certainly built into your Linux kernel already and it will probably just work as soon as you plug it in. If not you can download the Linux CH340 Driver (but I’d recommend just upgrading your Linux install so that you get the “built in” one).

Uninstalling From Macinstosh

A couple of Mac users have said “the driver crashes my mac Sierra how do I uninstall”.

Firstly regards the crash make sure you installed the 1.3 version of the driver, not the old one. You could download it directly from the Manufacturers Website in case they have issued an update since I wrote this page.

Secondly a quick google search reveals that this is how you uninstall:

Ultra Usb 2.0 To Ide/sata Cable Adapter Driver Download

1. Open a terminal and type: cd /Library/Extensions/
2. Verify that the .kext file is present: ls | grep usbserial.kext
3. Output should be: usbserial.kext
4. Then type: sudo rm -R usbserial.kext
5. Verify that the .kext file has been removed: ls | grep usbserial.kext
6. Output should be empty.
7. After you should remove the files stored in receipts folder: cd /private/var/db/receipts/
8. Find the enties: ls | grep usbserial*
9. Output should be: codebender.cc.ch34xinstaller.usbserial.pkg.bom codebender.cc.ch34xinstaller.usbserial.pkg.plist
10. Remove each one of the files of the above list: sudo rm -r filename`
