3DR Radios w/ qGroundControl on OSX

Posted by Jaime on December 12, 2013 at 7:50pm

I have been trying to get information about using the 3DR Radios on OSX in conjunction with qGroundControl but I have not been able to find anything. 

I have the 3DR radios working with mission planner on my mac using parallels to run Windows 8, but I would like to use them with qGroundControl on OSX, however when I plug them in there is no option o qGroundControl to select a serial port, I guess I am missing a driver or something. Any one know if this can be done?

      After I install the FTDI on my Mac,  I still can not find the serial port. 

      Is there anything wrong or I just missed something special?
