macOS X Mojave 10.14 Beta FTDI USB Serial Driver

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello World,

I just installed macOS Mojave 10.14 Beta and when i connect an Arduino to the USB port, nothing appears in my Arduino IDE ports list.

if i try ls /dev/tty.* i just see /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port connected. On macOS 10.13 everything was working ok.

I tried reinstalling the driver ( http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_4_2.dmg ) many times, I also tried following How to Install FTDI Drivers - SparkFun Learn but the port never appear.

Suggestions?

Avoid USB 3.0 port!

Sorry? Can you explain your reply? What other ports do I have on my Mac??
Only 2 USB 3.0 available and they have been always working fine

They apparently do not work fine for the Arduino.

I've reported this on Bug Reporter

What does that have to do with anything?

I have the same problem. Arduino is fine, it works fine when connector to other machine.
update to macos 10.14 Beta 2 did nog solve the problem.

I have the same problem

I was having this issue and it turned out to be Parallels Tools causing the issue. I uninstalled that and the IDE can see the serial port again.

Anyone know if there's been any forward progress on getting this working? Sucks trying to dig up a windows machine just to upload code.

With my MacBook Pro running official (not Beta) Mojave 10.14.2, I only see the serial port if:

  1. Connect Arduino [Duemilanove, in my case] and MacBook via USB (note: Arduino is powered up),
  2. Reboot MacBook,
  3. Launch Arduino IDE.

The serial port is discovered (during #2) and shows correctly (in #3). Using Tools -> Port in the Arduino IDE then allows me to connect. Everything works: downloads to the Arduino, monitoring to see "Serial.print(whatever)" output, and so forth.

It just doesn't work with USB 3 after what I'll call a "hot insert." (You need to restart Mac OS AFTER plugging in the USB cable with the Arduino at the other end.)

oh man! really? is this a kind of joke?
do i have to reboot my mac every time i modify the code for the controller of an autonomous robot?
because after every compilation i've to disconnect it from the laptop and let de robot run freely by home.
