New Feather with MAC Book

Post by Jaytcornell »

Hi -- can you please help me getting started.

I just bought new Feather ESP32 V2.

when i try to use REPL I'm getting permission denied error trying to access the device.
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/cu.usbserial-54B00061531'

I have been able to flash the device with Circuit Python using esptool.py
When i plug the device, I can see the device in /dev/cu.usbserial*. It does not mount, and i cannot access.

I have installed the ch34* driver

Macbook Air running Ventura 13.0
thank you kindly,
Jay Cornell

The current MacOS release Ventura has issues with mounting fake USB drives. More on that here:

What are the other serial device names that appear when you plug in the board? My older MacOS release shows a dozen devices, but these two get name equivalents get me to REPL.

Code: Select all

sudo screen /dev/cu.usbserial-54B0006153
sudo screen /dev/tty.usbserial-54B0006153

thank you. I got the REPL working with screen (without SUDO).

I have made some progress.

I'm just editing in vim. I am using webrepl_cli.py to push my programs to the device. I use screen to access repl and monitor results.
