However, I am not able to see or read any data from the serial port using ActionScript. This is odd, because the Arduino should be printing data on a loop. The only thing I can think of is that I am not setting the correct serial port number.

The easiest way to go about installing our is by starting with the device. • If you want to verify that the adapter and the driver were installed properly click Connect the device to the Mac. Once connected click on the Apple icon and on ‘About This Mac’ Click on ‘More Info’ Click on ‘USB’ on the left and on the ‘USB-Serial Controller D’ If all is well you should be seeing something like this: Time to get the driver! Fire up Safari and browse to and scroll down to Mac. Click on the ‘PL2303 MacOSX10.6 dmg v.1.4.0.zip’, the Safari Downloads window should come up: Double click on the md_PL23-3_MacOSX10 Now double click on the PL2303_1.4.0.dmg to mount the image Now double click on the PL2303_1.4.0 to start the installation Once the installer comes up click ‘Continue’ to proceed.

Then ‘Select a Destination’ click on your desired drive and click ‘Continue’ to move forward Now just click ‘Install’ to continue. You may be asked of your username and password – enter them and click ‘OK’ You’ll get a warning about restarting the computer after the installation is complete. This is normal, click ‘Continue Installation‘. Installing should start (takes a couple of minutes to complete) When it’s done you should see this: Click on ‘Restart’ to reboot the Mac. After you restart, check that everything has installed OK. On the Mac there are two methods to determine this: Method 1: Click on ‘Applications’ Click on ‘Utilities’ Click on ‘Terminal’ Type: kextstat grep prolific and: ioreg -c IOSerialBSDClient grep usb Your results should be very close to this: Method 2: Click on ‘System Preferences’ Click on ‘Network’ Now click on the ‘+’ sign on the bottom left, and then on the ‘Select the interface and enter a name for the new Service’ click on ‘Interface’ – you should be seeing the ‘USB-Serial Controller D’ there.

But how do you conditionally change the formatting of complete row based on a single cell value? The result should look like this: That is simple enough.

This will create a “Network” interface for a modem or serial port. Because it’s a serial port, it’ll say “Not Configured” and that’s normal: From the “Advanced” button you can change default settings (usually not needed). And this won’t change the “Not Configured” message – that’s still ok. Now finally, you need an application which will talk to the serial port. On Mac, the file which maps to the port is /dev/cu.usbserial.

If you have a null modem cable and a terminal program on the other side, the Mac actually has a built-in terminal program called “screen” that you can use to test the connection. Once that is up and connected (and if the serial ports are set to the same baud rate and paramters), you can type on either side and see the characters come across. Support USB Serial on the Mac is a real melding of the very new and very old. If you have any trouble, just visit to see existing FAQs for. Where to Buy [amtap amazon:asin=B00425S1H8].

Hi Sam, we’re glad to hear you found our article helpful! Getting scrolling in screen working is a little different depending on which version of osX you’re running and requires editing screenrc, unfortunately not a single command for this that I know of. Here is the best thread I’ve found on enabling screen scrollback (and more): Here’s another thread from stack overflow that talks about some options to enable scrollback in screen: A lot of people also prefer alternative terminals like Zterm, iTerm 2, etc.

Several are mentioned in the stack overflow thread. Hi, Loaded it all up fine, however my main purpose was that so I can telnet to devices on the serial port. My question is running the telnet what would I put after the telnet command to identify the port, at the moment I have unknown-00-26-08-f5-af-f4:~ chrismccann$ kextstat grep prolific 85 0 0x58412000 0x8000 0x7000 com.prolific.driver.PL2303 (2.0.0) unknown-00-26-08-f5-af-f4:~ chrismccann$ ioreg -c IOSerialBSDClient grep usb “IOTTYBaseName” = “usbserial” “IOCalloutDevice” = “/dev/cu.usbserial” “IODialinDevice” = “/dev/tty.usbserial” “IOTTYDevice” = “usbserial” typically telnet com1 or an IP is put in, but for this device what would I use. Many thanks, Chris. I wonder if anybody knows if there is any issues with the commonly available usb to serial cables that are so commonly purchased unwittingly that are a clone of the official pl2303. Prolific seem to be deliberately isolating compatibility against these devices in the newest Windows drivers, and wondered if thats the same with the mac drivers.
