TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / TinyDuino on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) ??
« on: September 17, 2013, 07:18:56 PM »
Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my TinyDuino going on OS X 10.8 (mountain lion). I suspect it has something to do with the FTDI driver not working on OS X 10.8 because when I install the driver package (downloaded from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) inside the dmg are two files, one named FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_3.mpkg and one named FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_4_10_5_10_6_10_7.mpkg, and as you can see the longer one doesn't have 10_8 on it
Anyways, I followed the instructions in the included Quick Start pamphlet, connecting the USB shield, downloading the drivers as mentioned above, and installing the arduino IDE (1.0.5).
Has anyone gotten the TD going on OS X 10.8? If so are there any magic hoops you jumped through? Thanks a lot in advance!

PS: as I was typing this out, my system gray-screen-of-deathed me, as mentioned in other posts in this forum. I'm guessing this OS X driver isn't the best, are there other options?
