MacBook Pro to reality 2 40w won’t connect

Mac book pro can’t connect to creality 2 40w. Run fine with windows os .



Many have found connection problems with Mac and their laser to be an issue with how MacOS translates, or rather doesn’t translate the onboard USB 3+ to the USB 2.0 of the laser. The most common solution seems to be using a "dumb: USB 2.0 hub connected though a Lightning adapter. Faulty, cheap USB cables are another source of problem for Mac and PC users alike. Get a high quality USB cable, with the ferrite core on the ends and a USB 2.0 hub and see if that solves your issue. This video will help diagnose if your Mac sees the device and offers a couple suggestions if it doesn’t.

Did you install the CH340 driver?

From what I understand MacOS has included this driver since version 10.14.
From Google:
macOS began including the CH340 driver starting with macOS 10.14 Mojave (released in October 2018), and Apple has since provided the necessary drivers out-of-the-box for macOS 10.14 and later.

I also read this, but in my experience, most Mac users need to install it anyway. I don’t know why, but I don’t think that all of them were running very old MacOS versions…

Thanks I will try
