Ridiculous Request - Mac related

[Steve Burg]

During the last year I have made the strange switch from Windows PCs to a Mac. It's kind of the last OS (in the most general of senses) that I haven't explored and I've been enjoying it. 

Now the problem: The only thing I was not able to do was program my AVR3 chips from the mac. I'm kind of at an impasse with my two external nodes needing to be re-housed and maybe reconfigured. It's also the reason I haven't done much in the way of expanding my network here in the midwest. 

Does anyone else do any arduino programming on macs that could help me with the hardware config that will allow me to reprogram my chips? I'm doing a VERY bad job of giving enough information, I know. I was using an EvilMadScience ISP 2.0 shield on an Arduino board and programming via the 6 pin cable directly onto the AVR3 boards. It worked on my Win10 laptop but now I get an error every time I try. I had to copy a hardware definition file from somewhere and it's listed in the programming software as "ATMega328 on a breadboard (8MHz internal clock)" 

Thoughts?

Hello Steve,

I've had the arduino isp working on Linux, the alternative fork of Unix, BSD Unix aka Apple IOS.   I've also supported Apple IOS professionally.  Without more details the usual problem is giving rights to access the driver.  Just need administrative rights and access to the command shell.

Hi Steve

Its quite easy to program AVRs using a Mac, the arduino environment should work but otherwise you can use Homebrew to install the command line tools and then do things manually.

I suspect that its more a config error with the hardware definition file, they recently changed the format and so it might need some adjustments (as you probably downloaded the latest version).

What error are you getting?

James
