I now keep getting "file is not open for read" on the cu.usbmodem1a21
and "eof" on the tty.usbmodem1a21
What am I missing here?

I am having trouble accessing an Arduino Uno attached to my

The device driver shows up as "/dev/tty.usbmodem1a21"
I tried a simple open driver then read from driver then close
driver. But Livecode keeps crashing or worse my computer panics and
dies.
This came up in the support queue. Basically "open driver" is only for
(real) serial devices. To open a usb device that is posing as a serial
device (i.e., you have a usb/serial port adapter) then you should use
"open file" instead. Treat the port just as you would a regular file.
There's no USB support per se, so if the device doesn't present itself
as a serial port device it won't work.
The path you use when you open a serial port as a file is the same one
you'd use in shell -- use the "/dev/tty.usbmodem1a21" path you
mentioned. Also, see if you can talk to it in shell just as a test.
