Crashes
this app used to work well under older versions of OSX but the latest version from 2015 has probems with Sierra, it sees the USB serial ports but I can’t send/receive data & it crashes on disconnect. I know the serial dongles still work with other (older!) apps under Sierra, so…?
A Lot of Product for a Good Price
Updated: Finally, a good app at a good price to control serial device connections with my MAC. In addition, this app allows you to view the Hex/ascii if you choose, which would be good if you’re doing serial programming. “The backspace key on my MAC is a delete key, and the delete key does not “yet” delete input with this app. I’m bringing to 4 stars because while I can restart a line by pressing 'Ctrl + C”; I found since I am not a perfect typer, I could use the backspace/delete ability. I’m sure I haven’t located the correct key combination or something. It could be my device, but if the backspace/delete character and up/down arrow command recall is fixed, 5 stars all the way. Still Super: No more running “Screen” and looking up the device name to create a serial connection. No more having to kill the process to restart “Screen” at the command line if I want to change baud. Great product at a great price. I have other expensive products, but they are licensed for other devices. I love the App Store products because you can use purchases on all your devices; if there is a limit, I have not reached it. Could you contact me when my minor issue is fixed so I may boost the rating back to 5 stars? *****
Works Great for EdgeRouter Serial Console under High Sierra
There are some over-priced software products out there for using your USB port to access the serial console on a Router, but this one was Free and does a very nice job. I had a new Router that needed to have new Firmware flashed before the web interface would be effective and I was able to connect to the Serial Console immediately after setting the proper speed setting in the software. (I used a US$10 cable from an online store.)
I am very pleased with this products and after a day of extensive Connect, Disconnect, Exit, Launch, Connect, Disconnect (rince and repeat) I had no issues with this software at all. I’m really not sure what the source of the poor ratings is, but I had no such experience with a Late-2013 Mac Pro and an FTDI USB-RJ45 serial cable.
Information
OS X 10.7 or later, 64-bit processor
Supports
Family Sharing
With Family Sharing set up, up to six family members can use this app.
I am developing a cross-platform User Interface with Qt, and I need to communicate through a serial port.I am able to use the serial port on Windows and Linux by using the following port names:
COM1, COM2, and so on, on Windows;
ttyACM0, ttyS0, ttyS1, etc, on Linux.
Now I want to do the same on Mac OS X. Do you know which are the possible port names on Mac OS X?
Thanks in advance!

How To Connect To Serial Port In Linux
They could be pretty much anything. They'll probably be /dev/tty.SOMETHING, but there's no guarantee of that. For example, my USB->serial dongle is: /dev/tty.usbserial-FTG6RCEJ. The last bit of gibberish there is a serial number or something, I think.
Shouldn't you be asking the user for which port to use, anyway?
Carl NorumCarl NorumUsing an Arduino, one of mine is:
/dev/tty.usbmodemfa131
The last 5 characters are different for each port.

The name of the serial port in OS X is dependant on the driver. It might be something like /dev/tty.USBSERIAL/ and it might be /dev/tty.PL2303-xxx
Serial Port On Mac
You might wish to have the user create a symlink such as /dev/tty.MY_APP_USB that points to their specific serial port.
To use the programmer in Mac OS X, you will need to determine which names have been assigned to its serial ports.
To do this, open a Terminal window, type ls /dev/tty.usb*, and press enter. You should see two entries of the form tty.usbmodem<number> (e.g. /dev/tty.usbmodem00022331). These entries represent virtual serial ports created by the programmer.
The entry with the lower number is your programmer’s Programming Port, and later you will need to pass its name as a parameter to AVRDUDE. The entry with the higher number (which should be two plus the lower number) is the TTL Serial Port, and you can use a terminal program such as screen to send and receive bytes from it.
If you have other USB devices plugged in, you might see additional serial ports for those devices.
many USB->miniUSB cables no has all pins plugged, only Vcc and GND. Them, cables may be the problem
