How to connect Arduino Nano to Mac OS X?

How to connect Arduino Nano to Mac OS X?

If connected via USB you normally have to make the USB connection first, start the Arduino IDE and finally have to select the model and mainly the port over the Tools menu. I did so on my OSX 10.11 ( El Capitan ), but the Nano module didn’t show up on the ports list.

Why is my Arduino not connecting to my Mac?

On Linux, you might try running the Arduino software as root, at least temporarily to see if fixes the upload. First make sure your board is on (the green LED is on) and connected to the computer. The Arduino Uno and Mega 2560 may have trouble connecting to a Mac through a USB hub.

Why is my Arduino Nano not compatible with El Capitan?

The problem that I got is that the Arduino IDE in OSX El Capitan can’t upload the code to my Arduino Nano V3. In Arduino IDE, don’t have any port that is USB. A little sad, but I try to check way to resolve this problem… Maybe it’s from the Driver of my OS that doesn’t support USB port of Arduino Nano.

Why is my Arduino Nano not showing up on my computer?

My computer doesnt recognise the arduino nano connected to it. I checked the device manager but nothing seem to pop up, it doesnt even show the “unknown device”. The nano I have, got the CH340G chip used for USB serial coms in it so I installed its drivers but that doesnt help it either.

What kind of drivers do I need for Arduino Nano?

After some days of random Google researches and several driver installations without fixing the problem, I finally found out that there are two main USB to UART converter chips used which need different drivers. First have a look at the USB modules on your board and read if it says something like „CH34*“ or „FT232“.

Where can I buy an Arduino Nano board?

So I bought some Arduino Nano ( https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNano) over Amazon lately and was amazed that I got 5 boards for only ~15 EUR by some chinese retailer. When I finally found some time and wanted to start programming with the Nano modules I couldn’t manage to connect them to the Arduino IDE.
