Driver Installation Click the link below to download the driver that matches the operating system. There are currently two driver chip versions, CP210X (for CP2104 version)/CP34X (for CH9102 version) driver compressed package. After decompressing the compressed package, select the installation package corresponding to the number of operating systems to install. If you are not sure which USB chip your device uses, you can install two drivers at the same time. During the installation process of CH9102VCPSERMacOS, an error may occur, but the installation is actually completed, just ignore it.
