Part of the github page should have been about identifying existing drivers as to remove potential conflicts. Did you do that?
I do not see anywhere in the GitHub page you sent where it explains finding and removing conflicts. There is a note at the bottom of the page that talks about uninstalling the driver but I think that is talking about the driver they just walked the user through to install. Where is this information you are talking about?
You’re right. They don’t talk specifically about resolving driver conflict on that page and the uninstall instructions there are incomplete. I believe I was remembering a different page I can’t seem to find now.
Check out these resources. They touch on this a bit. Part of the challenge is that MacOS has changed the driver model and installation location of these things multiple times in the last few years which makes it hard to find the right information.

Troubleshooting CH340G issues on macOS - FAQ - PlatformIO Community
Ok so I should try the install instructions on this page where it asks to remove drivers and do another install. Is that correct?
Yes. But I’d suggest documenting everything that you find so that you have a record of what was done. That will provide insight into what the actual problem is.

Stopped remaining as there was no sense plugging in the tool if it still was an error in last command.
First validate whether or not the files that you are attempting to remove exist. What’s the current state of the USB driver. Is it still getting loaded and visible in System Report?
If you’ve removed everything nothing should show there.
Querying terminal still shows
xxxxxxxxx@MacBook-Pro ~ % ls /dev/usb
zsh: no matches found: /dev/usb
xxxxxxxxx@MacBook-Pro ~ %
System report still shows
If you’re getting that in System Report that means you haven’t removed all drivers.
I forget the correct command but there’s a way to show loaded kext files. Try to identify what driver is being loaded and where it’s located in the filesystem.
Ran command:
xxxxxx@MacBook-Pro ~ % kextstat | grep -v com.apple
Executing: /usr/bin/kmutil showloaded
No variant specified, falling back to release

I then ran a full kextstat command. Looks like a have a ton.

Please keep in mind I got this computer used on Ebay and not even sure what all of these kext are for. I am tempted to wipe clean this computer and start fresh. I was told it was freshened to a clean state.
If you have nothing precious on the drive then might be good to do this irrespective of the laser connectivity, especially if you bought the system used.
If you do so, I’d suggest attempting to connect the laser without first installing any 3rd party drivers.
Is there any harm deleting all kext files in the folder /System/Library/Extensions?
Additionally I searched in these files and found many “com.apple.driver.usb” files.
This is very infuriating. I decided to erase my mac. I followed the instructions on this page using the Intel chip instructions. What to do before you sell, give away, trade in, or recycle your Mac - Apple Support
I also reset the NVRAM as suggested. After all that was done I setup my computer again logging into my cloud account. I first queried system report and was able to see the tool in my USB section. I downloaded Xtool Creative Space and tried to connect. The tool could not find my USB connection. The instructions they provide is to follow this support page and install drivers https://support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/7934477424407-Target-device-not-found-when-connecting?_gl=1*1386l7r*_ga*MTI4ODM5OTgyMS4xNjk2NzE1NTg0*_ga_W46SBPZ1NW*MTY5NjcxNTU4NC4xLjAuMTY5NjcxNTU4NS4wLjAuMA…
I skipped this just to see if Lightburn would find my tool. I downloaded the config file they provide from support page (link in next post)
I installed config file and tried to connect with no luck.

Links can be provided. I tried but it marked my post as spam so reposting without links
This would make your Mac unusable. There are many drivers required for the normal functioning of the system.
What does System Report show now?
If XCS cannot connect it’s likely that Lighburn will also fail.
It shows the connection. I oped to try the driver again.
Can you list all the currently relevant WCH drivers? You likely have 2 sets if you’ve installed the 3rd party driver and the System Report showed the connection previously without the driver installed.
How would I query this to show?
