No Serial Port for Mac

[holdy97]

Hello.

I am unable to get a Serial port for my Arduino Nano. Only port that shows up is /dev/cu.bluetooth-incoming-port.

It is made by a knockoff brand. I have a picture of the board attached. Light does blink when plugged in. I have Mac OSX Capitan Version 10.11.6. I have also downloaded the CH34 drivers for Mac, which did not seem to do anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea how to connect to this. The error message I get is copied below. Thanks in advanced.

Sketch uses 8234 bytes (26%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 418 bytes (20%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1630 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Hello Holdy97,

Thank you for sharing your question with Arduino community.

Based on the photo you attached, it looks like a counterfeit Arduino NANO board. This issue with the drivers on Mac is a common one with non genuine boards. I would advise you acquire a genuine Arduino board from our store:
