I have the 3.3volt ftdi cable from sparkfun. I downloaded this driver from the web http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX/MacOSX/UniBin/Universal%20D2XX0.1.6.dmg
But the arduino software can't connect to the serial. Anyone else had this problem? I didn't get any new serial connections option in the IDE, even if i insttalled the driver the way it said in the readme file.
Cheers
I think you want the virtual com port (VCP) drivers rather than the direct drivers. ( http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_1_10.dmg ) At least, that's what I use with my 5V FTDI cable and MDC BBB board...
Will try that Thanks for the tip, will try tonight....
