Loading freezes on Mac

I have a mac and was able to at one point have everything function properly. I then had trouble and reinstalled the drivers and simple IDE. I finally got the board to connect.

Now I am only able to program the blinking lights, and when I try to load any other program with a terminal, the program freezes once loading begins.


anyone have a suggestion?

    Unfortunately, you just can't have another terminal program open while downloading.

    jazzed,

    I think he means that when he tries to load a program using the terminal button, it freezes; not that he has a terminal already open when loading.

    You are correct. I don't have any other terminals open. I will type the program, set the project, and click Run with terinaml. The project builds successfully but then freezes once it begins loading the program.

    What is freezing exactly?

    If you can program the blinking lights, then other programs should work.

    Make sure you have the right serial port selected when you try to load.

    Please use "Load RAM and Run" button instead of "Run with Terminal" button, and copy/paste the Build Status here.
    In Build Status, Cmd+Click -> Select All, Cmd+Click -> Copy, then Paste to a post here.

    I know you said you updated the FTDI drivers. Did you update to this? http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
