[chirp_users] FTDI cable for Yaesu FT-60 using Mac OS
The struggle continues…. I downloaded the driver from FTDI website and went through installation. Np problems there. I then went to the System Report page to see if the driver appeared on the USB list of drivers. Nothing shows that would tell me that a FTDI driver was installed anywhere. I suspect the com/USB port is not communicating with the download, or the cable is not communicating. At this point, I am lost as to what to do next. I hope I have provided enough info for your collective assistance. Thanks.

Hi Tip,
In my experience with Chirp on MacOS, the cables with ‘real’ FTDI chips needed no additional drivers and were recognized by the OS immediately, with one caveat - the first release of MacOS 10.13 had issues with the builtin FTDI driver for me. Once 10.13.1 was released, the issue evaporated.
My FTDI cable shows up as “FT232R USB UART” (see screen shot)
