The new Cricut Mini uses different hardware. See Explored for research behind the serial port settings. Serial Byte Timing - CH2 is the data from the PC, CH1 is the data coming from the Cricut On the Mac and Linux platform it may be possible to capture at the driver level. So hardware level monitoring (Oscilloscope, etc) is probably the easiest. Writing to the FTDI driver in Windows is a lower level than most Port Monitoring/Logging software operate. Most other software that would communicate with the Cricut used these drivers as well. Also, you can use linux and the IOCTL interface to specify a custom UART clock frequency and divisor. The easiest way to do this on Windows is to use Python and PyUSB. You have to utilize the FTDI D2XX driver to set up the FT232BM to talk at 198347 bps using a standard 8N1 setup with no hardware flow control. It will enumerate as a USB to serial converter, but you will not be able to talk to the Cricut using any standard serial communication libraries because a non-standard baud rate of 198347 bps is used to talk to the Cricut. ![]() The Cricut has an FTDI FT232BM USB to RS232 chip internally. ![]() Serial Bit Timing - 8N1 at 200kbps from the Cricut
