Hi,

I have just installed the driver for Wemos D1 R2, but when I connect the board with the laptop, I receive a Kernel Panic in the MAC. It is very rare but it is happen when I connect the board. https://www.wemos.cc/downloads

How to solve it?

My laptop has OSX Sierra.

I fix this problem using this blog. https://tzapu.com/ch340-ch341-serial-adapters-macos-sierra/

Maybe the official drive should be upgraded.

I wanted to update this thread with a solution for Mac OSX High Sierra users, specifically 10.13.4. If you have problems with the driver using the latest OSX High Sierra please refer to the KB Article:

Basically, the kernel extension needs to be approved to load and is done so in system preferences/security.

My symptoms were not a kernel panic, but I found this page in my search and the above KB article fixed my issue.
