Arduino Mega 2560 Driver For Mac

• Arduino Mega 2560 Driver Download

Well that was a very interesting few days! For a little while I thought that I was going quietly insane. But its all fixed now. I received from an EBay seller a small batch of Arduino Nano ATMega328 boards and ran into this problem immediately.

I've just received Funduino Mega 2560. This is a Chinese product and should be the exact copy of Arduino.

I am having problems connecting it to my computer and have spent several hours trying to figure it out to no avail. My operating system is Windows 7 x64 and here are the steps that I tried:. Restarting Windows. Pressing Reset button on the device.

Switching to other USB ports on my computer. Using different cables (including the one that works with my printer). None of this helps. The device is not listed in Device Manager and Windows does not produce the sound when connecting plug-and-play device. Because of this, I am unable to get to the point to install the drivers for it. I have also tried to by shortening RESET and GND next to Mega8U2 chip in order to try to upload a new firmware. The device is not responding.

Macintosh (V1.3) Inside the zip file you will find a PDF and a “pkg” file, short version, double click the pkg file, the PDF has some extra information. OSX Sierra (10.12) Note A kindly user, Maarten Segers reports FYI, the driver documented here WILL crash on OSX Sierra.

Uninstalling From Macinstosh A couple of Mac users have said “the driver crashes my mac Sierra how do I uninstall”. Firstly regards the crash make sure you installed the 1.3 version of the driver, not the old one. You could download it directly from the in case they have issued an update since I wrote this page.

Secondly that this is how you uninstall:. Open a terminal and type: cd /Library/Extensions/. Verify that the.kext file is present: ls grep usbserial.kext. Output should be: usbserial.kext.

Then type: sudo rm -R usbserial.kext. Verify that the.kext file has been removed: ls grep usbserial.kext. Output should be empty. After you should remove the files stored in receipts folder: cd /private/var/db/receipts/. Find the enties: ls grep usbserial. Output should be: codebender.cc.ch34xinstaller.usbserial.pkg.bom codebender.cc.ch34xinstaller.usbserial.pkg.plist.

Remove each one of the files of the above list: sudo rm -r filename`.
