This has happened a few times since I started using this a few days ago. What happens during flying is the mac just freezes and then goes to a grey screen and restarts. Sometimes I can see the usb port to connect to but sometimes I can’t. I’ve installed the FTDI 2.2.18 that comes with it even though it shouldn’t be necessary with 10.9.
Did I mess up something by installing FTDIUSBSerialDriver 2.2.18? Does 10.9.1 have a newer version?
Right now, I can’t see the usb port at all and even in Fusion I can’t see the port. I’ve unplugged it and replugged the USB to see if that would help. I’ve reinstalled the FTDI several times and restarted several times.
edit: I forgot to mention that I’m using xBee, not 3drUSB modems. iMac is latest model.
Well the FTDI just started working. I don’t know what I did other than open system profiler and look around the usb area.
Any idea why the ftdi is flakey? I never had this problem with Fusion.
Also the crashing I think is related to that because first APM reports a lost connection and then things freeze up and then it restarts itself after going to a gray screen.
did you install the FTDI drivers? 10.9.2 should have a FTDI driver from Apple, but it receiving mixed reviews on if it works or not. The FDTI driver are in the .dmg that you download.
