Has anyone tried this? I'm not yet on Big Sur.

I installed the new Silabs driver and reconfigured the comm port.  It worked fine at first, but then the obnoxious flashing of the gauges returned.
Has anyone else experienced this?  Thanks. Jeff

Yep, many. Here's the Dev's last response.

The driver is for comms ---- doesn't have anything to do with the graphics issues.

Thanks for posting this.
It has been a LONG time since I needed to install this bridge, and frankly, I had almost forgotten where to find it and who had it!!
I remember installing this on my Cheese grater Mac Pro, then moving over to this iMac in the last two years seems to have brought it along?

Now I am about to (finally) move up to the current Mac OS (Big Sur) but have been working on ridding myself of 32 bit apps. I have one to go.
The Driver I have been running under Mojave (Current OS) has been flawless, so no complaints.

Anyone have a suggestion: Should I install the latest silicon labs driver PRIOR to updating to Big Sur, or after the upgrade?

Thanks all...
