Macbook Air with M1 Chip / USB Driver Problems

Post by Thyamine »

Hey everyone,

I have spent a week or more fighting with this issue. I have a newer Macbook Air (Big Sur, 11.4) with the M1 chip, and I cannot seem to get the laptop to see my dive computer. I know I need to use the USB drivers, and I have installed/reinstalled the Silicon Lab drivers a few times trying to see where the issue is. With past Macbooks I've had no issues. I was able to get the laptop/MacDive to see my computer once, and I have no idea why.

I'm hoping someone else has had this issue and knows how to fix it, or just hasn't had any issues and I can try down other paths.

I've got the same computer and have the same problem. Won't recognize my Mares Puck Pro. I tried to reload the CP210x driver from Silicon Labs, but all the links to this driver on the SL site yield 404 errors.

The link is indeed broken but you can find it via search still:

That worked—thanks. Don't know why the driver didn't come along when I migrated from my old Intel Mac to the M1 machine.
