The Arduino uses the FT232 or something just like it.
You need to install drivers for it. They are included with the Arduino
software.

Hello together,
this is my first post to this list, so please take it easy on me if I missed
some point or my problem is trivial.
Here's the project:
I am building a system of approximately 200 little speakers that can be
switched on/off individually. This works via 4066 8bit-registers that are
filled by an atmega. I want to use PD to feed the atmega the bits that then go
into the registers. At the same time I want to feed a step motor and get
feedback about its current position.
Here's the question:
Has anybody here experience with using an ft232
(http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/FT232BM.htm) with PD? It provides a virtual
serial port via usb and appears the easiest (cheapest) way to communicate. I'm
using OSX and drivers for the chip are provided.
I am not at all firm with PD right now. Last time I used Max/MSP an thats about
5 years ago. As I understand, the [comport] object works with OSX now. I
couldn't find much in the forum about sending data to the outside. Most things
seem to be done via Arduino and its derivates…
Thanks for your help.
cheers
