hi,
I see many connections appearing in network prefs of osx,
after connecting and disconnecting the usb cable of my arduino micro running a keyboard usb program,
does anybody know how to disable these multiple setups being created on the left of my network menu? and just have one?
thanks
I think clicking on the minus sign button in the lower left corner should delete the selected modem.
thanks for the reply,
yes that works, but I find it kind of a pain to have to delete these, everyday...
I didn't think I would add new files to my computer everytime i plug in my arduino usb keyboard
looking for a fix..
I don't think it has anything to do with the keyboard code.
When a new Serial port appears, MacOS adds it to the list of potential network interfaces. When you plug in an Arduino Micro, the board will appear as a serial port, at least briefly, because of the bootloader. You might also get a new port if your Micro "crashes" somehow - normally I wouldn't expect to see more than one network interface created each time the board is plugged in...
(This is annoying behavior dating back to dial-up internet. I wish I could tell my mac that a Serial port is never going to be a network interface...)
You might be able to get rid of the behavior by removing the bootloader (except - I think that the Micro keyboard code sets itself up as BOTH a HID device AND a Serial port, anyway?)
ok thanks for your reply
yes it does crash! so that makes sense, well doesnt crash i reboot it in different modes, so I guess everytime i do that it acts the same as replugging it in again.
I do remember old internet dsl modems that were plugged in the usb, so I guess the macos's last task was to use one of those and stayed there for 20 years.
not sure about BOTH a HID device AND a Serial port,
