@fourhexagons

does the grid work? or are both arc and grid not detected?

@FLart open Activity Monitor, do you see serialosc running? open Terminal, type ls /dev/tty.usb* what do you see?

[FLart]

ls /dev/tty.usb*

Hi Brian…
Thanx for answering so fast…SO:

This is what i see in terminal:

MBP-de-Renaud:~ renaudcarton$ ls /dev/tty.usb*
/dev/tty.usbserial-m0000008

Can’t find serialosc in Activity… :-/
And btw, i’m running High Sierra OS 10.13.3

Grid exhibits same behavior. See numbered list in my original post for more Grid details.

[FLart]

Oups, sorry… Now i can see serialosc, and everything is running ok!
Thanxx!

seems to have something to do with the hackintosh i tried using it with, makes sense √
happy it’s still working !

Hi, I’m having the same trouble with my 256 walnut.

When pluged into power the game of life demo plays and when I plug it into my macbook USB it doesn’t show up in test-grid.maxpat.

I haven’t used any other Monome devices on this MacBook before, previously I used the 256 on another MacBook but I didn’t clone that one to this one when I changed.

I’ve tried, I think everything in this thread with no luck.

The 256 shows up in System Report

And here is System Report with it unplugged

This is my Mac’s info:

And test-grid.maxpat:

I’ve tested the USB port with my iPhone being recognised by Xcode.

I tried the FTDI driver install via recovery mode, no difference.
I also tried a random USB hub, not difference either.

Here is some output from terminal with commands mentioned in this thread.

$ launchctl list | grep serialosc
540 0 org.monome.serialosc
$

$ sudo dmesg | grep FTDI
Password:
$ 

$ ls /System/Library/Extensions/ | grep FTDI
AppleUSBFTDI.kext

$ ls -l /dev/tty.usbserial-*
ls: /dev/tty.usbserial-*: No such file or directory

$ ls -lrt /dev | grep usbserial 
$ 

$ kextstat -l | grep -i ftdi
$ 

$ mdfind -name FTDIUSBSerialDriver 
/Users/richy486/Downloads/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_4_2.dmg
/Users/richy486/Downloads/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_18.dmg

$ ls /dev/tty.usb*
ls: /dev/tty.usb*: No such file or directory
$ 

Not sure what to do next, I’m open to sending it in for repair if needed.

does the game of life stop when you plug it in?

it’s very strange that the FTDI would show up in the system report but not show up as /dev/tty.usb* in the terminal.

when was the last time this was working properly?

[richy486]

Yeah the game of life stop when I plug in the USB to the MacBook, it doesn’t start again if I unplug the USB.

Also I installed, tested and removed the FTDI drivers through recovery mode earlier.

Last time it worked properly was on a different MacBook about 5ish years ago. I’ve been traveling and just got it back

Small update, not working yet though

I found this site that suggested unloading and reloading the Apple USB driver:

$ sudo kextunload -p -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
Password:
$ sudo kextutil -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI -p AppleUSBEFTDI-6010-1

Then I re ran this command and got output which I didn’t previously

$ kextstat -l | grep -i ftdi
  179    0 0xffffff7f840d8000 0x3000     0x3000     com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI (6.0.0) E02B2C48-3077-35EC-A20D-3FADE3593128 <178 81 23 6 5 3 1>

The 256 still isn’t showing up in test-grid.maxpat or mlrv 2.5.app but now when I unplug it from the MacBook the Game of Life starts up again, this didn’t happen before reloading the driver.

This command still shows “No such file or directory”:

$ ls -l /dev/tty.usbserial-*
ls: /dev/tty.usbserial-*: No such file or directory

Not sure what to try next, is there anything I’ve missed that I can try?
