I have a USB cable connected between my MacBook Pro and the Raduino (Bitx40v3 up and running ok) but the IDE (1.8.2) via the Tools->Port doesn't see the Raduino (I set board to Nano) Same cable on a MS Surface sees the Raduino via the IDE just fine. MacBook Pro sees an Arduino Uno just fine with a different USB cable. i suspect a need a USB driver for the MacBook Pro to match the Raduino. OS X version is El Cap. Any suggestions are welcome.

I have avoided arduinos with the CH340/CH341 chip set for that reason. ?I have not found a reported reliable driver for the mac as of yet. ?Unfortunately, most require an admin level system hack and/or cause a kernel panic. ? I am not ready to experiment with these drivers yet. ?They seem to change with every OS release. ?the CH340 engineers are not on top of this.
I forgot to check the chip set in the Raduino when I bought it... ?I may have to unsolder the provided Nano and replace it with one that uses the PL-2303 chip set. Did you solve the problem? |

The Chinese driver works fine on my MacBook Pro 2016 ... with a variety of Chinese clone arduinos (Mega, nano, etc.) Just saying!

I had this problem with 10 Nanos I recently purchased. Someone posted here that the IDE made a minor change that rendered some of the Arduino boards "unloadable"...you could not get a sketch to upload to the Nano. The fix was to select the Nano (Tools --> Boards), but to also set the processor (Tools --> Processor) to ATMega328P, the 'P' being the key. Then select the Port (Tools --> Port). I then tried to load the ASCII Table sketch (File --> Examples --> Coomunications --> Ascii Table). The first try failed, but the second always worked. I don't know why this is, but my guess is that the first attempt does something to "fix" the bootloader and the second attempt actually accepts the sketch. Worth a try... Jack, W8TEE

Here's the old post from N0BHC:

? ??/g/BITX20/message/45633 The post says "you have to select "ATmega328P (OldBootloader)"? Not having updated to the latest Arduino IDE, I have no idea if it really says "OldBootloader" in the Tools-Processor menu. Jerry On Tue, Apr 3, 2018 at 06:53 am, Jack Purdum wrote:
