MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and serialosc

[Alistair]

Ill take a look, what driver should I be using with the latest serialosc build?

[artfwo]

The one that comes with High Sierra.

[Alistair]

ok I ran this as super user, “cd /Library/Extensions” then “sudo rm -rf FTDISerialDriver.kext”

Same result as before, monome works when lugged from boot, hot-plugging does not.

Any ideas?

[artfwo]

I’m out of ideas, but perhaps this thread could be of help? Make sure you have 1) serialosc 1.4.1 (reinstall it if you’ve got compiled stuff in /usr/local) 2) Apple’s built-in FTDI driver 3) No third-party drivers

SerialOSC not updating on monome connect/disconnect

@tehn I have this exact issue where I have to restart to use monome and I see the monomes listed in the network options, but I’m on OSX 10.11.6 (Mac Pro Late 2013). The Monome (Grayscale 64) works fine, but if I unplug it and plug it back in I have to restart. I see serialosc-detector and serialoscd in my activity monitor. If I restart and have the monome plugged in, that will show up addionally as monome-devic. If I unplug it “monome-devic” stays on the list but seemed to dissappear right whe…

Ok Ive fully reverted back to the apple drivers, and reinstalled serial osc 1.4.1
hot plugging still not working

[artfwo]

Ok, what happens if you try the following in Terminal:

launchctl unload "/Library/LaunchAgents/org.monome.serialosc.plist"
cd "/Library/Application Support/Monome/serialosc.bundle/Contents/MacOS"
PATH=.:$PATH ./serialoscd

…then plug the grid in and out a few times.

[artfwo]

Sorry, I forgot the leading / in the 2nd line, post above edited.

[Alistair]

ok tried this, cursor is flashing in terminal for quite a while

[artfwo]

Ok, what happens if you run the following from the serialosc bundle directory?
PATH=.:$PATH ./serialosc-device /dev/tty.usbserial-m64_0716

[Alistair]

libmonome: could not open monome device: No such file or directory
./serialosc-device: failed to open device /dev/tty.usbserial-m64_0716

[artfwo]

Are you sure you have the Apple driver loaded? What is the output of the following?
ls /dev/tty.usbserial*

[Alistair]

i get no such file / directory on that one

[artfwo]

Can you try your grid with another computer? Because this sounds like problems with your OS and/or hardware. Cable perhaps?

[Alistair]

I haven’t got access to another computer right now, but the device works fine on boot, its just when i unplug and replug it isn’t detected again

[Alistair]

running this, system_profiler SPUSBDataType

gives me
monome 64:

              Product ID: 0x6001
              Vendor ID: 0x0403  (Future Technology Devices International Limited)
              Version: 6.00
              Serial Number: m64-0716
              Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
              Manufacturer: monome
              Location ID: 0x14114000 / 22
              Current Available (mA): 500
              Current Required (mA): 500
              Extra Operating Current (mA): 0

[artfwo]

This is normal. But if the grid doesn’t reappear in system profiler and /dev after a replug, check your OS and drivers, seriously. It’s also good to try that on another Mac. Also, does the problem above happen with other USB devices? Other FTDI-based devices?

News about new installers?
I’m blocked
Thanks

[simonvanderveldt]

Are you already on 1.4.1?

Serialosc 1.4.1

huge thanks to @artfwo recommended update for anyone having trouble with recent OS updates.

[Alistair]

Hey, this is still happening, the device does appear in the system profiler after replug, it does not however show in max or mark eats seq, i have tried other cables and another mac with the same issues, now pretty sure im using the default apple driver and the latest serial osc which is all i need i believe.
also i have tried plugging directly into my matchbook rather than via a hub, still the same issues. Works fine, replug dissent work,
Thanks

my grid in still not discovered in max. tried all the suggested routes.
