Which version of macOS are you using? There is an incompatibility with Sierra and the standard CH340 driver. The CH340 is the most common USB-serial chip found on the clones.
I have macOS Sierra version 10.12.4. My driver is the CH34.
I have an older Mac from my parents with MacOSX 10.9.5, do I need to try using that computer or do I just need to download an other driver?
Thanks for your help!
There is a modified version of the CH340 driver that should fix the problem. See:
https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=428349.0
I remember looking at some of the links at that time and the mblock.cc one seemed the most promising but I really didn't research it thoroughly because I'm on a different OS.
I would have thought the manufacturers of the CH340 would have fixed this issue by now but I just checked their website and the latest driver is dated 2016-09-28, which was before the time of that thread so I guess that means it wasn't ever fixed.
It works fine with the new driver. Thank you foor all your help pert! I really appreciate that!
