Config won't read the board (Mac osx & 2560)

Post by ummagawd »

Started my build, but wanted to check everything's cool with my board. But it's not reading it...

-I'm on OSX 10.7.5
-Multiwiiconfig 2.2 (and it already opened without having to run the commands to make it executable)
-The "bluetooth pda sync" is the only port that turns it all green (but it doesn't read anything).
-After some research I tried installing the FTDI drivers... I install both the VCP driver along with the serial driver (the serial driver was a serious frustration because i didn't know about the sudo command for a good hour).
- i THINK i installed everything and still no luck.

Can someone please help?

I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.3 and I'm using VCP drivers and everything works (USB or Bluetooth).

Can you share your exact steps?

When you installed your VCP drivers did you have to type in commands into Terminal?

Nothing to type in Terminal. Just installed VCP drivers and that was it. OS X 10.7.5 is old OS. Why not upgrade it? Check if your system is 32bit or 64bit.

Hi scrat - I have a core i7 (64). And I've tried installing both 32 and 64 bit VCP drivers (v2.2.18) and it's still not working.
