Mac crashes every time code uploaded to Redboard

Using a Redboard. On Macbook Pro 2015 running OSX Yosemite 10.105. The first time I used the Redboard in lab, the arduino application crashed only once, but now Arduino crashes my mac every time I upload the sketch. Other laptops using windows seem to upload code to the Redboard just fine.

I can open the application, find the serial port fine, and verify the code but as soon as I upload the sketch, the system will freeze up and my mac will crash/restart.

I have already tried using different redboards and USB cables.

I also tried using older versions of Arduino IDE

I have also already downloaded the CH340 Driver (and the FTDI driver) to locate the serial port using

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!Thanks!

Here is what the crash report looked like:

Thanks again!

Hi aver_v,

It sounds like your operating system is panicking due to a pre-installed driver. Try going back through the [Mac OSX Installation Instructions in that tutorial and removing, then re-installing the drivers.

If that does not fix the issue, let us know and we can troubleshoot further.](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ch340-drivers#mac-osx)
