Hi,
I have an older serial cable but since I own a macbook, I have no serial ports.
I have an 'ATEN' chipset serial adapter (link to manufacturer's product page), an have installed the macaxe application, but cannot get macaxepad to connect to the serial device.
Looking in /dev/ I can see that the USB adapter is present as /dev/tty.UC-232AC.
Locating the axepad.ini file, I can locate the following :
[Target for Mac]
PortNamePrefix=/dev/tty.SerialPort-1
Port=0000101D
And by changing tty.SerialPort-1 to tty.UC-232AC I can get the device to show up correctly in macaxepad :
However, I don't know what to put in the blank 'port' text field.
It doesn't give any helpful error messages.
I have installed the driver/kext from the manufacturer.
And can this even work? I read that the picaxe requires inverted Tx and Rx or something...
Cheers,
Jeremy
