The Arduino IDE uses Java, a platform that simplifies running software on different operating systems, in particular on Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux. Sometimes, when installing the recommended Arduino IDE for Mac OS X you can get a Java error. I'm having trouble communicating between my Arduino and Python. I have a couple of questions that I hope can be answered, but first and most importantly, I need to simply establish a connection. For Windows, apparently the solution is rather convenient, but on Mac OS X, I apparently need to access some system files (which I am not familiar with). 2 Responses to “Arduino IDE 1.8.5: Hotfix for macOS High Sierra Users” Leo0 Says: November 8th, 2018 at 05:40:47. I use Arduino 1.8.5 and have High Sierra but it still won’t work. Roboutwest Says: January 5th, 2019 at 21:57:02. I tried Arduino 1.8.5, the latest release 1.8.8, and a few others with High Sierra and I can’t get.

Then double click to expand/launch it
it will automatically give you the Arduino app the teal icon:
If you have an official Arduino UNO you won't need to install any other software. However, if you have an Arduino compatible with a CP210x or FTDI USB to serial converter, you may need to install a driver.
You can download the latest CP210x driver here and the latest FTDI driver here
You can download the latest CP210x driver here Visit the website, download and double-click the pkg to install the driver. Once done, reboot! |
Arduino For Mac
You can download the latest FTDI driver here Visit the website, download and double-click the pkg to install the driver. Once done, reboot! |
You can use Terminal to help find and verify your Arduino. First, launch the Terminal app - you can Command-F to Find the Terminal.app program:
Double click to launch it. At the text prompt, type in
ls /dev/cu*
(note the first letter is a lower-case L)Arduino For Mac Os Sierra 10 12 6
Make sure you see a line with the text /dev/cu.usbmodemxxxx or /dev/cu.usbserial-xxxxx where the xxx's can be anything. This indicates that the driver installed properly and that the Arduino was found.
You can close the Terminal program now
