usb driver problem

[Thomas McGrath III]

The dev/tty.usbmodem1a21 does not show up in the list using the SerialTest.rev stack.

It does show up in the Arduino software Serial list. Also in the Arduino you have to use the tty.usbmodem1a21. Also when you plug the Arduino in the Mac detects a new modem and asks to set it up in Internet preferences pane. hit apply and then it shows up in Arduino.

When i use marks make board software the /dev/cu.usbmodem1a21 does show up or at least when I took out just that part of his code that searches the drivers.

	put OSXDeviceNames() into tFiles
   	filter tFiles WITH "/dev/cu.usbmodem*"

Sorta stuck now figuring this out.
