Mac: Port Stuck on /dev/cu.Bbluetooth-Incoming-Port How do I switch to serial?

MAXOSX : how to find out which port /dev/## , the USB use


You have to find out if the connection is made :/dev/cu.usbserial#, /dev/tty.usbserial#.

You need to use /dev/tty.usbserial# instead of /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port.
Most probably your driver is not installed.
Do you find it the terminal? ls /dev/tty..
If yes ignore the rest ... otherwise your driver is most probable missing.


Maybe you can download the driver from the internet, to find out which driver ...

Via command line, you are able to find back the name of the vendor, the ID of the Vendor and product;

$ system_profiler 
$ system_profiler SPUSBDataType
...
