Serial Port issue--Arduino Uno

Post by lbritton »

A number of my students are having difficulty setting up their arduino UNOs with their computers. All of the devices were purchased as part of the Adafruit start kit. All students are Mac users with Sierra and when they try to connect to the serial port the only thing that shows up is a bluetooth option. We tried downloading additional drivers after googling possible solutions and still no luck. Any ideas? We're all rather new at this!

Are some of your students successful in connecting? Try swapping the working and non-working units to see if the Uno or the computer is the problem.
