Mac Os X Usb Serial Port Terminal

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite (10.10.3). If it is a legitimate Uno, then all of the FTDI and SiLabs efforts are an irrelevant distraction at best. Ideally, test the board and cable on an another machine to make sure it has not been damaged in the meantime, and try a different USB port on the Mac (especially try connecting through a keyboard or hub if you tried directly, or directly if you had tried a hub). I believe if you look in system information you can get a listing of all USB devices, which would be good to include in your post.–May 25 '15 at 19:54.

Probably, you have Chinese Uno analog which works on CH340 USB-to-serial chip, so you need to install driver for it.Steps to fix:. Install the.

Yosemite 10.9 (and OS X 10.10 and newer) requires a signed USB driver kext (kernel extension). You can find one on the FTDI web site here:Use version 2.3 for 64-bit OS X 10.9 or later. Install and reboot.Plug in your Arduino, and the Terminal command:/usr/sbin/kextstat grep FTDIwill tell you if the FTDI VCP driver actually loaded.Also a /dev/tty.usbserial-xxxxxxxx entry should appear in your /dev directory.If not, the Mac USB port isn't talking to your Arduino. So it's no use trying the Arduino IDE application.Also make sure your USB cable isn't for power only, but fully connected.
