Hello world!
I have recently bought the book "Make: AVR Programming" by Elliot Williams because I really want to learn about microcontrollers. Everything has been going fine until now...
So here´s where I´m at:
Implementing seriel communication on the AVR.
For this I needed a terminal application, I choosed CoolTerm. I also needed a USB to serial adapter:
"5V 3.3V FT232RL USB To Serial 232 Adapter Download Cable Module For Arduino"
I´m using an Arduino Uno as programmer to reach an Atmega168a as the AVR.
I have Mac OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3
When I open up Coolterm it can´t seem to find the right serial-port. I´ve been spending this whole day browsing the internet for answers and there seems to be a problem with OS X Yosemite when it comes to this.
I have tried a lot of different drivers and sudo code to get around this problem. The port just won't pop up!
Is there anyone who knows how to make CoolTerm recognize this FTDI usb-port?
Thanks and regards,
Erik
