Ftdi Driver Mac Os X
Note: if you already have a working Arduino environment, you can safely skip this step.

Windows XP
These instructions are mainly for Windows XP see below other versions of Windows.
Step 1:
- FTDI provides a new USB driver called, D3XX, for its range of SuperSpeed USB ICs, such as the FT60x. D3XX implements a proprietary protocol different from D2XX in order to maximize USB 3.0 bandwidth. Application software can access the USB device through a series of DLL function calls. The functions available are listed in the.
- To install the driver on the MAC you simply click on the.mpkg that matches your version of OS X. With Lion and Mountain Lion, you will need to bypass the new Gatekeeper security function to install the pkg file. Simply press Cntrl-Clickwhen you select FTDIUSBSerialDriver104105106107.pkg. This will bring up a pop-up menu.
- I have never installed USB drivers before on a MAC. I downloaded and installed the FTDIUSBSerialDriver104105106.pkg, I assume it will work on 10.75. I also downloaded the D2xx driver but I am not having any luck installing it. Terminal commands are giving problems. Any advice or help with installation of the drivers would be appreciated.
Just plug your Arduino into the USB port with the right cable. This balloon should appear.
Step 2:
Choose the option that you’ll select the driver yourself. We don’t want to wait for Windows to find it.
Earlier versions of Mac OS X did not support FTDI drivers, so users would have to install third-party FTDI drivers. Somewhere around the release of macOS 10.12 Sierra (and maybe earlier), native support for FTDI drivers was included. If you look at the notes for the Mac driver version from this FTDI web site, you will see that it says to contact support if you have a different VID /PID. I don't remember what the answer was but my memory is that you are supposed to modify a file in the installation.
Step 3:
Click “Next”.
Step 4:
Click on “Browse”
Step 5:
Search for the drivers in the Ultimaker directory (or within the Arduino files) you’ve just extracted from the downloaded zip. When the OK button becomes active, press to continue!
Step 6:
Then, choose next.
Step 7:
Press “Continue Anyway”.
Step 8:
Press “Finish”.
That’s it!
Great work! Now you can start using your AmbiLED HD or your Arduino.

Windows 7
Click the start menu, and start typing “Device”. The following entries will show up:
After clicking on “Device Manager”, you will see this screen:
If you don’t see your FTDI USB device, please make sure it was plugged in.
Right-click the FTDI device and choose “Update driver software…”
Choose that you’ll browse for the driver yourself:
Find the folder of AmbiLED HD that you’ve downloaded:
Choose the folder “FTDI USB Drivers” and click OK, then click “Next” in the Wizard.
Choose “Install”. This should be the final step in the wizard. Close the wizard and wait for a balloon to appear at the bottom right. This balloon will tell you that the driver can be used.
Congratulations: That’s it!

Windows 8 and 8.1
No driver required for most of Win8 installations. If you have any problem with your FTDI com port, simply google it. FTDI is a well known USB to Serial hardware and have a lot of solution for problems.
For example if you have driver signature problem, solution here.
Mac OS X
Make sure you’ve downloaded the DMG of ReplicatorG, it contains the driver you need. When you open it, you should see the following files:
Surprise… the ‘Drivers’ folder is where you’ll find the drivers. Open it to reveal the following contents:
Now, open the disk image with the drivers. The opened folder looks like this:
For Mac OS X Tiger (10.4), Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6), open the second installation package, called “FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_4_10_5_10_6.mpkg”.
Click Continue. You’ll see the change to this version of the driver.
Click Continue, again.
Click Install to the default. Enter your (administrative) account login to authorize the installation.
This should take a minute or two until it shows that you’re done!
This document also explains how to install the driver in a step-by-step process:

Linux
Ubuntu or other Debian based systems
The FTDI Driver is included with Ubuntu/Debian. After plugging in the USB cable, you can find your device under /dev/ttyUSB0 (and ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2, etc, if you have more) or /dev/ttyACM0.
Uninstall Ftdi Drivers Mac Os X
Regular users on your ubuntu system may not have permission to write to the ttyUSB or ttyACM device. For example, Pronterface may complain “SerialException: could not open port /dev/ttyACM0″. In this case, change permissions for regular users like so:
sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0

Raspberry PI
Ftdi Chip Driver Windows 10
You are lucky, there is no extra driver for standard Pi packages. They are coming with FTDI drivers.
