The Prolific PL2303 USB to RS-232 Serial Driver for Apple Mac OS X isthe reliable interface between your PL2303 based cable and your Mac. Thedriver supports many PL2303 based dongles and USB interfaces, likedevices of I-O Data Device, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Anchor Chips,Asahi Kasei Microsystems Co., Elecom Co., RATOC System, Y.C. CableU.S.A., Prolific Technology, Susteen, Syntech Information Co., HappControls, Palm, Mobile Action Technology, Siemens AG, ICP-DAS, RadioShack, ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM, Tripp-Lite, and Sitecom.
I have a few USB to serial converters and I know at least one of them uses the Prolific chipset (and presumably uses the same driver). I have not tried to use them with Mojave yet, but please read the above and determine if it works for you. There really ought to be no change to that procedure for Mojave.
Pl2303 Driver For Mac
I am using USB to TTL serial cable in my mac. I have followed the instructions in the links Adafruit-driver-mac and mac-os-driver-installations,and installed the driver successfully. However after restarting my computer the serial cable is still not detected. I checked ls /dev/tty.usb. But no such device is shown in the list (except my BBB).
I will be moving from PC to Mac, but will need to run a Windows application that uses a serial port, using boot camp. Would I be right in thinking I would need to install this adapter under Windows using a Windows driver?
Prolific seem to be deliberately isolating compatibility against these devices in the newest Windows drivers, and wondered if thats the same with the mac drivers. Its just not worth wasting time putting in drivers to have to fight them out again when prolific deliberately make them to not work.
I followed the instructions, and got the driver to show in system report, but never in the network control panel. ZTerm worked, showing me that the driver works (and helped as a step), but minicom is the best app for the job- easy to configure, and remotely accessible with terminal. Great site- thanks for the help!
The Problem is OSX10.11 does not allow unsigned kext to be loaded except for a workaround i described to andrius (either its the post down or up to this one) The driver itself is fine and i am using it on 10.11. The problem is the unsigned state. What you guys would have to do to make it work again is to sign the KEXT with apple and provide it in a signed state. Thats all.
By the way. This method works with any unsigned driver!!! If you have a non working USB device check the /System/Library/Extensions path for a .kext file with the name of your device. if you find it there and your device is not working you can be sure its a signature problem. just use the commands i described above and change the filename of the .kext to the filename you need.
Hi Doug,If you have the Plugable adapter, the latest driver for OS X is properly signed and there is no need to turn off SIP in order to install it. If you are having problems getting it installed, please contact us at support@plugable.com and we can help.
David, thanks for the response, I should start at the beginning, I have an older Cables 2 Go USB2Serial cable and my research indicated that the driver I needed was this one. It works on a windows PC but since I use a MAC most of the time I was trying to get it to work. However, I have since ordered a plugable adapter and I think it should be here today and I am sure that will solve my problem. I will keep you posted.

Hand controls manufactured since April 2016 have a USB port on the bottom which provides an interface for your Windows, Mac or Linux PC/laptop. This port is actually a connection to a USB to serial adapter inside the hand control. As such, once you connect to it, your computer will have a serial port that your astronomy software will interface with. Windows, Mac and Linux will all require a driver to create this serial port. Once the driver is installed, a serial port, designated by a number, will be present on your computer. Configure your astronomy software to connect to this port. 2ff7e9595c
