MacBook Pro Can't Find Serial Ports

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I have just acquired a nearly new MacBook Pro, operating system 10.10.3. I downloaded the latest Arduino IDE, but when I activate the software and hook a Nano up to its single USB port, the Arduino list of ports never shows the attached Nano.

Anybody else have this problem, and any idea as to a remedy.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Interesting update: The MacBook finds the serial port if a ProMini or a standard UNO is attached. Seems to be a Nano problem.

The Nano has an FTDI chip so you need to install the FTDI driver.

John,

Thanks very much. I'd been using Nanos on another MAC with no problems, but that one must have already had the driver installed.
