Waveforms on MacOS Issue

[wlk]

Waveforms has yet to find one of my two Analog Discovery 2's.

I have attempted to use it with:

• an Apple USB C to USB adapter
• an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter
• a CalDigit TS3 Plus (using a port which can supply 5V 1.5A).

I've rebooted many times and tried all combinations of interfaces, with 2 different USB cables and 2 different AD2's.

I have the following scenario:

macOS 10.14.6

Confirmed via System Report that the driver exists.

Digilent USB Device:

  Product ID:    0x6014
  Vendor ID:    0x0403  (Future Technology Devices International Limited)
  Version:    9.00
  Serial Number:    210321AD640C
  Speed:    Up to 480 Mb/sec
  Manufacturer:    Digilent
  Location ID:    0x14410000 / 8
  Current Available (mA):    500
  Current Required (mA):    0
  Extra Operating Current (mA):    0

I originally installed Waveforms digilent.waveforms_v3.12.2 with no success. Based on another users feedback, I deleted that version and installed digilent.waveforms_beta_v3.13.6, with no success. 

I've also confirmed FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext 2.4.2 is in /Library/Extensions.

1. I'm at wit's end and am looking for more things to try. 

2. I also want to confirm that the unit doesn't require external power outside of the USB cable. I don't see a power LED indication on either unit.

 

Please advise.

Thanks,

Lief

Hi @wlk

Please try to delete the FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext, restart and connect the device.
According the feedback some macOS/MacBooks require the driver, other work only without it... for me with the latest macOS it is working regardless of this driver.

In case it is still not working try running the following command to see at which library level is detected:
$ python /Application/WaveForms.app/Contents/Resources/SDK/samples/py/Enumerate.py

I just realized I hadn’t included my computer...MacBook Pro 2018...
