Ok, I read all the threads I could find about how to talk to the controller board from the Mac. I still can't get the SimpleBCG GUI to connect to my 2 axis board. (The AlexMos one from Hobby king)

The Simple BGC GUI should talk to the controller using the Silicon Labs drivers.
The MultiWii config GUI also uses the Silicon Labs drivers to talk to the MultiWii controller board for my Quadcopter.
I already have the MultiWii GUI working with the Silicon Labs Drivers on my Mac.

The Simple BGC GUI runs on the Mac and seems fine. I think its the the Silicon Labs Driver's port that's not working.

From what I read, the SIlicon Labs driver needs to "see something" on the hardware before it will be listed on the host GUI's list of ports. Now, the MulitWii (Arduino based hardware) triggers this action just fine when its connected to the Mac. MultiWii config shows the Silicon labs port on the port list and everything is wonderful. For some reason it seems that my AlexMos board is not triggering this on the Mac, so the Simple BGC GUI never is able to list the Silicon Labs port as an option.

I'm stuck.

On every other thread I don't recall seeing "Oh ok it all works now. Here's what I did." Each thread just stops. Can anyone shed some light on this? At this point, I don't know where to turn.

Thanks!
