AXE027.PMD
PICAXE USB CABLE
If you now run the application System Preferences and
select Network (Go > Applications > System Preferences >
Network), you should see the text "New Port Detected".
Click OK and select Network Port Configurations from the
Show list. The new port can be enabled from this screen by
checking the On box and clicking Apply Now.
At this point, it is possible to exit Network and use the
AXE027 cable, referenced by the system unique
/dev/tty.usbserial-xxxxxxxx
name.
5.1) Trouble shooting:
If the AXE027 cable cannot be accessed an ownership or
permissions problem may be preventing the system from
making the cable accessible.
Check that the driver is owned by root and wheel. The most
common symptom is the group for FTDIUSBSerialDriver is
not wheel. To change the group, login as root and perform
the following script in a Terminal window (Go >
Applications > Utilities > Terminal):
cd /system/library/extensions
chgrp -R wheel FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext
Reboot for the change to take effect.
