FTDI drivers dont work for Mac M1 / Monterey

Development Boards Arduino
1

I am trying to program a MicroView on my Mac M1 and I followed the driver installation here

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ho … di-drivers

And unfortunately it’s not working.

When I use Get Board Info in Sketch > Get Board Info it says

“Native serial port, cannot obtain info”

My system info says FT232R USB ART
  Host Controller Driver:	AppleT8103USBXHCI

FT232R USB UART:

  Product ID:	0x6001
  Vendor ID:	0x0403  (Future Technology Devices International Limited)
  Version:	6.00
  Serial Number:	AD0JMT11
  Speed:	Up to 12 Mb/s
  Manufacturer:	FTDI
  Location ID:	0x01100000 / 1
  Current Available (mA):	500
  Current Required (mA):	90
  Extra Operating Current (mA):	0

I used PySerial to confirm the port existed

port {'device': '/dev/cu.usbserial-4', 'name': 'cu.usbserial-4', 'description': 'FT231X USB UART', 'hwid': 'USB VID:PID=0403:6015 SER=DA00SXIC LOCATION=1-1', 'vid': 1027, 'pid': 24597, 'serial_number': 'DA00SXIC', 'location': '1-1', 'manufacturer': 'FTDI', 'product': 'FT231X USB UART', 'interface': None}

Has anyone sucesfully gotten these drivers to work on Monterey and/or M1 Mac?

Try removing the drivers that are installed and re-installing via these steps https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ho … rs/all#mac and see how that goes :smiley:
