Mac OS X Serial Bluetooth Connection from your Mobile Phone. This page describes how to connect from an Android mobile to a terminal session running on Mac OS X. Now that your Android and Mac are paired, you need to set up a Serial port for the Terminal program to talk to.

• Serial Port Utility by Darkwood Studio is a program that can manage and communicate with devices attached to serial ports. Even if there is no version of Serial Port Utility for Mac released yet, try similar applications to monitor serial ports.
• What is the best terminal emulator for Mac OS X? Update Cancel. Now if you mean a serial terminal - e.g, to plug into the console port on a server - then it gets a little trickier. There’s a reasonably good reference at Mac's and serial TTY's or this StackExchange post Is there an OS X terminal program that can.
• I have a USB to RS232 adapter with which I'm connecting my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9) to an EVK1100 board from Atmel. Piping from serial port on Mac OS X. Ask Question 2. CoolTerm is a Mac terminal app that should be able to connect to your serial device.

I am developing a cross-platform User Interface with Qt, and I need to communicate through a serial port.I am able to use the serial port on Windows and Linux by using the following port names:

• COM1, COM2, and so on, on Windows;

• ttyACM0, ttyS0, ttyS1, etc, on Linux.

Now I want to do the same on Mac OS X. Do you know which are the possible port names on Mac OS X?

Thanks in advance!

Pl 2303 Mac Os X Serial Usb Driver

They could be pretty much anything. They'll probably be /dev/tty.SOMETHING, but there's no guarantee of that. For example, my USB->serial dongle is: /dev/tty.usbserial-FTG6RCEJ. The last bit of gibberish there is a serial number or something, I think.

Shouldn't you be asking the user for which port to use, anyway?

Using an Arduino, one of mine is:

/dev/tty.usbmodemfa131

The last 5 characters are different for each port.

The name of the serial port in OS X is dependant on the driver. It might be something like /dev/tty.USBSERIAL/ and it might be /dev/tty.PL2303-xxx

You might wish to have the user create a symlink such as /dev/tty.MY_APP_USB that points to their specific serial port.

To use the programmer in Mac OS X, you will need to determine which names have been assigned to its serial ports.

To do this, open a Terminal window, type ls /dev/tty.usb*, and press enter. You should see two entries of the form tty.usbmodem<number> (e.g. /dev/tty.usbmodem00022331). These entries represent virtual serial ports created by the programmer.

The entry with the lower number is your programmer’s Programming Port, and later you will need to pass its name as a parameter to AVRDUDE. The entry with the higher number (which should be two plus the lower number) is the TTL Serial Port, and you can use a terminal program such as screen to send and receive bytes from it.

If you have other USB devices plugged in, you might see additional serial ports for those devices.

many USB->miniUSB cables no has all pins plugged, only Vcc and GND. Them, cables may be the problem
