Os X Serial Port Terminal
I bought a USB Serial port that had MAC drivers. The holiday ost rapidshare movies. Check before you buy it that it has drivers.
Not all USB Serial have MAC support. I assume that you have installed the correct drivers from here.First, open Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal). Next, typels /dev/tty.to get a list of your serial lines. Pick the one that you want to open. For example, my list looks like this:gf:dev gf$ ls -al tty.crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 4 Jan 25 07:32 tty.Bluetooth-Modemcrw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 8 Jan 25 07:32 tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Synccrw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 10 Jan 25 09:20 tty.PL23Dcrw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 0 Jan 25 07:32 tty.SerialPort-1gf:dev gf$And I know /dev/tty.PL23D is the USB-to-serial adaptor becuase it’s connected, if you unplug it the tty.PL23D stops being listed.Knowing the serial port, you can just type screen portname datarate to show the serial data on the screen. In my case, it was:screen /dev/tty.PL23D 9600To quit the screen app, type control-A, then control. PostscriptI don’t think that this is very complete, but it worked for me and might help you to get your USB serial working.
