The MPC Touch display link drivers are not officially supported for use on macOS 10.13.3, 10.13.4, 10.13.5, and 10.13.6. Users on these operating systems may experience display connectivity issues from what has been observed as a display mirroring bug in the Apple OS that prevents the Displaylink driver from properly activating and syncing with.
Whenever a new operating system is released, it is crucial to check the compatibility of your hardware and software before choosing to make the jump. This article will be updated periodically to reflect the current status of Akai Pro hardware and software compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13 and iOS11.

After installing your new, shiny, macOS update you might have found out like me that plugging in any device that relies on a CH340/CH340G/CH341 device (like the ESP8266 based Wemos D1 Mini) immediately throws a kernel panic. Not ideal…
So far, I did not find a solution to making it work, but read below for the solution to avoid getting kernel panics.
I will update this post once I have a working solution.
I will update this post once I have a working solution.
What you need to do is to remve the problematic kext/driver that is throwing the kernel panic. This kext should be mentioned in the log you can find in
/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports
with a .panic
extension.In my case it was: last loaded kext at 6898626041: wch.usb.usb
You will then need to find where this kext is, in my case is was under
I was able to confirm it was indeed the driver by doing a
I then removed this and can plug a Wemos D1 Mini without my computer panicking on me.
/System/Library/Extensions
with the name usb.kext
. Your names and locations might differ unfortunately.I was able to confirm it was indeed the driver by doing a
cat usb.kext/Contents/Info.plist|grep wch.usb.usb
and seeing if it returns anything.I then removed this and can plug a Wemos D1 Mini without my computer panicking on me.
Using the adapter
Thanks to our old pal Björn (original drivers post on his blog) and to @sebastianAPW that told me about it, we now have a free, working solution for CH340, CH341 on macOS 10.12 Sierra
Winchiphead signed drivers for CH340-CH341, OS X 10.9 to macOS 10.12
Pay for drivers
One of my readers (thanks Lee) let me know that he tested a paid for driver that worked for him. I have not tested it, as it will remove any motivation of finding a free solution 😛
He said:
I thought you may like to know that https://www.mac-usb-serial.com/ (costs €7.90) seems to work if you unpack the installation packages and manually kextload the driver 🙂
