Hello, this might just be me stating the really obvious and making a fool of myself, but since the FTDI chip emulates a serial connection through USB and the FTDI driver takes care of that, wouldn't it make sense for the device to appear as serial rather than USB? At least on Windows when I connect this kind of device I get a COM port, and my Braille driver doesn't see this as USB at all. Sorry in case this turns out to be utterly irrelevant to the problem at hand. Kind regards, Felix

This is a usb cable interface but it does not work with usb: and I haven't found a serial number to try that. What does work is brltty -b ht -d cu.usbserial-142 which I tried because I found it listed when I tried ls /dev/cu.* That worked from the command line so I tried putting serial: in front of it in the brltty.conf even though I know voiceover doesn't support serial braille displays and that also worked. I do find that if I start brltty and at some point start voiceover up again the display is immediately pulled into voiceover for braille instead of brltty whereas with the Braille Edge I can switch voiceover back on once brltty is running without voiceover grabbing the braille display. But the main thing is that I do have it working. . -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
