I installed the FTDIUSBSerial drive and nothing changes. I can see the /dev/cu.usbmodem1a21 in : Arduino IDE Terminal Cornflake Processing
But not in Livecode : SerialTest MakeBoard Communicator MyOwnTestStack The Arduino Uno has a serial to usb chip on it so it doesn't use the FTDIUSBSerial driver. That has to be the problem. Maybe it is seen as a usb too soon by the computer and as such LC only sees a USB port and no serial port. OK, if that's the case then what about shell commands? ANyone know of some simple shell commands to read the serial data that I am sending from the Arduino Uno???? That would help me test this out.
