Hello- first THANK YOU for reading this. I hope you can help. I have a sudden presentation to do this afternoon using Processing/Arduino. Problem is I'm not using my desktop tower. I need to use a loaner MacBook Pro (running OS 10.5.8). I've installed Processing and Ardunio but when I plug my Arduino board into the laptop the serial port isn't found. I know the usb port is working because i can use a flash drive in the same slot.
this is what i get when i run println(Serail.list());
[0] = "/dev/tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync"
[1] = "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync"
[2] = "/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem"
[3] = "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem"
no where am i seeing the Arduino board. and pluged in or unplugged that println list doesn't change. i've even gone into arduino and the serail port doesn't show up under tools/serial port. only the same ones listed in processing show up.
can anyone help me please? i'd hate to have to take apart my tower and take it with me to this presentation/meeting! lol
big thanks in advance!
