1 Go to the Arduino downloads page and click the Mac OS X link to download a.zip file containing a copy of the Arduino application for Mac OS X. Currently, the file is 71.1MB. That’s quite a large file, so it may take a while to download. Now it should be possible to use Arduino’s equipped with that without any problems under Mac OS 10.9 to mac OS 10.13 (High Sierra). For High Sierra you must allow the driver to load in the Security & Privacy Settings you will be asked for it once you plug in a device with this serial chip, Thanks to Robin for this info. Some parts that use these drivers include the FTDI basic, Sparkfun Redboard and other Arduino boards that make use of a FTDI chip. And that's just to name a few. Install Drivers. To get started on a Mac, follow along with these steps. Note: My Mac is running Mac OS 10.9.5, however these steps should apply to all modern OS versions. FTDI USB Driver for Mac OS X. There are different drivers depending on the version of OS X you are using; make sure to select the correct one. These drivers are required for any Board of Education USB, Propeller development board, or other USB-based Parallax hardware.

When the Arduino Software (IDE) is properly installed you can go back to the Getting Started Home and choose your board from the list on the right of the page. Last revision 2016/08/09 by SM.

It will ask you to select a location to save the macOS Sierra Installer. Select the location and it will start downloading. The file size is more than 5GB is it may take a long time depending on your internet speed. Clean Install macOS High Sierra using a Bootable USB. Sometimes we need a clean installation of our operating system. Few weeks ago my Arduino Uno (IDE version 1.8.2) detected the USB port and I was able to do some small IOT projects. I updated my OS to Sierra 10.12.5 and now suddenly the usb serial option has.

In case you haven’t noticed, our team has just released Arduino IDE 1.8.5! This time the changelog is fairly small, as it mainly solves a (rather important) problem being encountered by macOS users who just updated to High Sierra (10.13).

If you are not using English as system language, any version of Arduino you launch will lack the menu in the system bar. Every Java application is experiencing the same problem, so it will probably be solved by Apple in the near future.

In the meantime, IDE 1.8.5 recognizes when the menu bar is not being displayed and replaces it with a Windows-style one. It may not be the prettiest thing, but at least it works!

If you want to recover the old menu bar while keeping the whole system in your normal language, you can issue a single command on Terminal:

Arduino Driver Mac Os High Sierra Boggess

Thank @AdrianBuza for the workaround. Issuing this command will make Arduino IDE in English, however you can still change the language under “Preferences” without losing the macOS integration.
