I am trying to get my SainSmart development board for Arduino ATmega1280 running and I am having some trouble getting it running. It doesn't seem to find an appropriate serial port as my Arduino UNO does. I have tried downloading Arduino 1.0 as it says on another post on this forum but I think I am all out of other avenues to trouble shoot. I hear it could be a driver issue as well, but no one has linked a place to find appropriate drivers.
I am using Arduino 1.0/1.0.1 on Mac OSX Snow Leopard.
Any ideas for why an applicable serial port is not showing up when I hook up my board?
FT232R USB UART
Apple Internal Keyboard
IR Receiver
BRCM2046 Hub
Built in Isight
Internal Memory Card Reader
I dont think the FT232R is it but that would be the only unknown device showing. I do have the board plugged in and the L LED is flashing with the PWR led on.
Since the product page clearly says it uses a FT232 and your computer shows a FT232 when connected, one would make the assumption you need FTDI drivers installed for it work...
