Apm 2.6 mac serial ports

Posted by Nicholas on July 5, 2016 at 5:33pm

I recently bought an apm 2.6. I downloaded the software and all of the pre setup stuff. Now when I try to connect to the apm wirelessly my computer cant find the serial port from the ground station module. I am running mac El Capitan.
