Claudi, yes and No. There is a driver that gets loaded on Leopard but it is not loaded in snow Leopard. They changed the way the Arduino Uno gets connected.
"Open up the serial monitor (or any other terminal program) and use single-keystroke commands to control stepper motor speed, direction, and power." This is a snippet from a motor Controller board but the hint here is that the terminal program can access and send serial commands so maybe that is a way around this issue. The Snow Leopard way is that the Arduino shows up in Network Pane as a Modem. But it does not show up as one of the serial ports in Sarah's Serial Test project. I can install the Leopard driver and try that and or try the direct terminal and see about that next. -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com 3mcgr...@comcast.net On Jan 18, 2011, at 5:06 AM, Claudi Cornaz wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > I just ordered a arduino yesterday and hope to have it tommorow. > I sure hope this can be solved.
