Right Click on the 'USB-EPP/I2C.CH341A' device and select Unistall' from the drop down menu. After the device is removed you can turn the power off and them back on on the laser cutter. When the computer detects the laser cutter on power up the original driver will be restored and you can use the original (LaserDRW) software again. Having an issue with your display, audio, or touchpad? Whether you're working on an Alienware, Inspiron, Latitude, or other Dell product, driver updates keep your device running at top performance. Step 1: Identify your product above. Step 2: Run the detect drivers scan to see available updates. Step 3: Choose which driver updates to install. This driver enables USB communication between Windows computers and SEL USB ports for the following devices: SEL-2440; SEL-3031; SEL-C662; SEL-C667; SEL-3021; SEL-9192; SEL-T4287; Installation Instructions. Ensure C662 cables are not plugged in. Download and open the USB driver. Click Yes when prompted to install the driver. Click Next after installation.

Do not connect the SCU-17 or transceiver to the computer via the USB cable until the virtual COM port driver installation process has been completed. Connecting the SCU-17 or transceiver to the computer via the USB cable before the driver installation has been completed may result in the wrong driver being installed, preventing proper operation.

I have lost track of how many updates Microsoft has released since I first penned this article a few years ago. Working to troubleshoot an issue in an online forum I was pleased to find Silicon Labs has continued to release updated drivers.

Reviewing the release notes also available at the link below the latest drivers are certified with later versions of Windows 10.

The version on the Yaesu website is several years old.

Windows

DriverVer=03/28/2016,6.7.3.350

Current version available from Silicon Labs

DriverVer = 05/23/2018,10.1.3.2130

Install was easy it updated the existing driver install.

I am running Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit and am able to run the latest version of PCC downloaded from the Yaesu website without any special settings. Ham Radio Deluxe also works just fine with the updated driver.

With all of the security issues folks are having with Windows as Microsoft hardens the operating system. I would recommend following the Microsoft broad recommendation of keeping drivers updated.

I received an email from Ed Ve7ED raising awareness to a new USB serial driver from Silicon Labs, this is the chip which Yaesu uses in the FTDX3000 and I suspect other serial to USB radios and cables. Note if you are using Linux or OSX drivers for those platforms are also available. I have installed the 64Bit driver on my Windows 10 system and no runs, drips or errors.

Also worth noting drivers are available for OSX, Linux and Android if you are for example using FLDigi on those platforms.
