Here is an easier way. This will work with SCAL4 or 5 for Windows and SCAL4 for Mac
1. You need a copy of SCAL4 for Windows or Mac

or SCAL5 (32 bit version) for Windows (note: 32 bit version will run on both 32 and 64 bit version of Windows)

2. Download the 3rd party plugin for the Cricut
Windows

or
https://ufile.io/mo1k7 *need to manually install keys
Mac

or
https://ufile.io/1xd6b
or
https://ufile.io/7g5ii *need to manually install keys
3. After you install both SCAL and the Cricut plugin, start up SCAL, go to the Cutter menu and choose My Cutters and then Manage Cutters. Choose Cricut in the Company Company/Brand drop down list and then click the Add to list button.
You should now be able to cut with your legacy Cricut (Personal, Expression, Cake, Create). Please note this will not work with the Expression2, Mini, Explore, Maker). For the Explore or Maker models, you would just use SCAL4 or SCAL5 to do this http://www.craftedge.com/tutorials/desi ... nspace.php
Hello
I just upgraded to SCAL5, and became very interested when I read this post - as I have both a Cricut Personal (v1.31) and an Expression (v2.31) which I very much would like to use with SCAL. I did as described -installed the 32 bit Version of SCAL5, installed the plugin, and the KNK driver. Rebooted. But the Connection still doesn't work. I get the Attached error Messages.
I am confused as to what port to choose - there are a lot of COM ports to choose from - the one also marked as USB?
I have tried several - from two computers, and tried both my old Cricuts. No luck - the same error messages.
Can anyone advise me? Thanks in advance!
