Huzzah ESP8266 not recognised on a MacBook Air
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2016 6:26 am
Hi,
when I connect my ESP8266 board to my home MacBook Air it's not being "recognised" at all. I don't see any new device in /dev/*
If I connect the board on my work MacBook Pro instead it's recognised and available on /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
They are both running latest OSX (10.11.3)
I can't find any explanation for that and the only suspect I have is that MacBook Air doesn't give enough power to the board so it's not able to be mounted.
Which commands could I try on my MacBook Air to understand if the device is recognised by the system at all?
Thank you so much, cheers.
