Guest chasetin34 Posted April 5 I have the US Cutter MH-871. I am trying to get it to communicate with my computer. I have tried 3 different computers and still nothing. I have even tried two USB cables. I don't know if I am doing something wrong. When I plug the USB cable into the computer it makes a sound like it accepted it. But when I go into the VinylMaster Cut V5.0 and try to get the cutter to recognize it and says it can't detect it. I even went in to the device manager to see if they it was under the USB section and I don't see it. Is the motherboard bad? Maybe I am making this more complicated than what it is. Idk maybe someone has experienced this and can help me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,641 Posted April 7 Have you installed the driver? The cutter will show up as a comm device, make sure it is assigned port 1, 2, 3, or 4. If not reassign it, port 1 or 2 is recommended. Your best bet though, toss the USB and get a null modem serial cable. Much more reliable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,467 Posted April 7 Try using the Virtual Com Port driver. https://quadmeup.com/stm32-virtualcomport-driver-for-windows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,720 Posted April 7 After you install the driver, reboot your computer. Use DIRECT COM. Match the numbers. 1-4. Not Detect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTE to CHASE: This is not in reference to the VCP Driver which was offered by me above. That little Virtual Com Port item is a stand-alone bit of code, which provides you with a Device Driver for USB that appears on the drop-down list of connections, and allows communication with the cutter's USB chipset (Serial Emulation).
