I managed to use the TTL Connection/Programming cable to flash the roomnode2.hex onto my jeenodes from my livebox (aka hah) but when i plug the cable into my macbook pro and launch Arduino IDE i can't see the device listed under tools, serial port.

Do I need to install some form of driver?

Thanks

Never tried this cable on a mac

Its just PL-2303 and Linux has supported this for donkeys natively.   I think MacOSX needs a driver thou.

Windoze gives variable results

I sometimes have the PL-2303 working fine on XP. Other times, it just doesn't want to know. A reboot sometimes cures this.

However, totally (100%) solid in operation on the HAH.
