I'm not a Mac guy (yet) so am weak on troubleshooting an SIDE install problem.
Last week two students downloaded and installed on their Macs but when we started class today they could not get a connection to their Activity Board. The error message is along the lines of "propeller not found on COM x" x=6 in one case. Drop-down COM box at top right is empty.
From Windows world seems like driver is missing or driver not connected to a com port.
I couldn't find similar problem in forum search.
Anyone have a guess at steps I can use to get them going tomorrow?
Thanks.
