Just got the Propeller Activity board and want to use the SimpleIDE on my Macbook w/ OSX 10.75. I have never installed USB drivers before on a MAC. I downloaded and installed the FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_4_10_5_10_6.pkg, I assume it will work on 10.75. I also downloaded the D2xx driver but I am not having any luck installing it. Terminal commands are giving problems. Any advice or help with installation of the drivers would be appreciated.

Application Note AN_134 FTDI Drivers Installation guide for MAC OS X Document Reference No.: FT_000201 Version 1.4 Issue Date: 2016-07-18 The purpose of this application note is to provide users of FTDI chips with a simple procedure for installing FTDI drivers for FTDI devices used under MAC OS X. This is a task FTDI has outlined quite well for windows in an application note, and it is also buried in a application note for Mac OS X. I only located the Mac OS application note after figuring out the procedure myself, so I’ll break it down here for you. Install the FTDI VCP Drivers for Mac OS. SIO (Smart-IO) > USB to UART/Serial/Printer > PL2303 Mac OS X Driver Download. Mac OS X Universal Binary Driver v1.6.1 (PKG file format). Windows; MK-USB testing under Windows XP (Echo-Test); Linux; Mac OS. If not download here the FTDI driver and install it manually: VCP-driver. Plugged in the ribbon cable on the MK-USB (x2/SIO) and placed at the other end plugs into.
The SimpleIDE installed without problems. Thanks Mikes I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4 (It uses the same driver as for 10.7 versions of the OS).
Are you downloading the 'FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_18' (note the version: 2.2.18) from the following URL? That one is definitely meant for 10.3 - 10.7. It contains 'FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_4_10_5_10_6_10_7.mpkg', which is the proper package to install.

You mention using Terminal commands, but I'm not sure why. You should NOT need to do anything more than the following, unless you need to remove a non-functioning older driver: Note: If you had already installed an earlier version of the driver, it may cause problems. You'll find it located at the following path on your hard drive: '/System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext'. Move it to the Trash. You can do this simply with a 'Control-click' on its file/icon in the Finder, which provides a menu that includes 'Move to Trash'.

This will require authorization of a known admin user ID and password, of course. Once you have removed the older driver the following should allow installation of the new driver: 1. Download the 2.2.18 VCP driver from: 2. In your Downloads folder, you should see a file named something like: 'FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_18.dmg'.
Introduction In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install drivers on multiple operating systems. Although this tutorial was written using Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.6, and Ubuntu 13.04, the process should be very similar, if not exactly the same, for other versions/variations of these operating systems. Suggested Reading Before you begin this tutorial, you should have the Arduino IDE installed on your computer. Check out our tutorial for a step by step guide.
Here are some other tutorials and concepts you may want to familiarize yourself with before reading this tutorial: • • • • • Alright, let’s get to work! You can visit the next section to learn more about the FTDI Basic and why you need the FTDI drivers, or you can skip straight to the operating system of your choice! If you are using a 5 volt device, you will need the 5 volt FTDI.
If you have a 3.3 volt device, you guessed it, use a 3.3 volt FTDI. LilyPad boards all operate on 3.3V. We also carry a complete for the FT232RL should you need access to more pins than the FTDI Basic provides. Here is a list of some SparkFun products that require the use of an FTDI Basic, come with an FTDI Basic, or have an FT232RL chip on board: • • and • and • and • • • • • • • There are also some legacy Arduino boards that use the FT232RL.
