Hi there, I can't get my FTDI friend to show up in the /dev list on mac OSX BANNED. Is this a known issue? If so, how do I fix it? If not, perhaps I just have a bum FTDI friend?
I've installed the drivers on the website, which didn't work, so I tried installing the D2XX1 driver, which also didn't work. The Friend is currently chilling on an ardweeny - which lights up, so it's not power that's the issue.
Thanks for any help!

Hi there,
I'm not sure what's gone wrong, but I've got another busted FTDI friend.
Same issue as before, I have power, but no communication. The FTDI doesn't show in the devices list.
Not sure what the issue is, but it's giving me the sads :,-(

Try a different USB cable. Some cables are power-only, and don't have data lines.
Try some different USB ports, too.

Yep, did that. Tried two different cables (one of which had worked previously). I'm ordering another one from you guys today just to be sure, but it's unlikely to be the cable.

Re: FTDI friend not being recognized on mac OSX
How about a self-powered USB hub?
And do you have another computer you can try it with? Trying to isolate the problem to either the computer or the FTDI friend...
