Hey guys,
I just received my arduino board the other day, and have been unable to get the FTDI drivers to show up properly in the Arduino GUI.
Here's some info about the situation.
I have an AtMega328 Duemilanove, and when I connect it to OS X (latest version) on my macbook pro (latest revision), and open the Arduino GUI, I do not see the port in the drop down menu.
Now, on that same machine, I can fire up Windows XP via VMware, pass the USB connection thru to XP and work with it fine there. I can select the driver properly, write and flash a sketch to the board.
After that as a sanity check I installed the arduino gui on a friends linux box (FC10) and we got it working perfectly there as well.
I then took a friends AtMega168 Duemilanove, and plugged it into this same MacBook Pro, and I am able to see those drivers fine, can write and flash a sketch with no issues.
Has anyone seen this issue besides me?
Just to recap
AtMega328 on someone elses desktop running Fedora Core 10 - Works great.
AtMega328 on my macbook pro using Windows XP via Fusion - Works great.
AtMega328 on my macbook pro latest OS X - Cannot see the FTDI driver under tools -> serial port in the GUI
A friends AtMega168 on my macbook pro latest OS X - Works great.
It seems like the latest FTDI drivers for OS X are incompatible with the AtMega328. I first tried 2.2.9 (which comes with 0016), then downloaded and installed 2.2.10 from the website with no love.
I also tested this 328 against my 13" macbook and my quad-core mac pro with no luck.
Sorry for the huge post, but any ideas/input would be appreciated.
