Mac OS Tutorial for Arduino IDE Installation
Ⅰ.Arduino IDE
As an open source software, Arduino IDE is developed based on Processing IDE, which
is the integrated development environment officially launched by Arduino.
With Arduino IDE, you just write the program code in the IDE and then upload it to the
Arduino board. The program tells the Arduino what the board needs to do.
Ⅱ.Download the Arduino IDE for Mac OS

Ⅲ.How to install CH340 serial driver on MAC
Connect the main control board to your computer with a USB cable, and the driver will be
installed automatically on MacOS and Windows systems. If the driver installation fails, you
need to install the driver manually.
[Link] drivers
①Download the driver from the website and unpack it into your local installation directory.
You can find the "CH340 Driver file-mac "folder in the resources package we provided, this is
the Driver File we want to install.

[Link] to install the driver
①The instructions for installing the pkg format driver by default can be found in the
document titled "Installing the pkg Format Driver."
②If Rosetta is not supported in OS X 11.0 or later, see "4. Install the dmg driver."
③Before installation, go to "System Preferences" -> "Security and Privacy" -> "General"
page. Under the section titled "Allow apps downloaded from," choose the option for "Mac App
Store and identified developers" to ensure proper functionality of the driver.

③Install the pkg format driver on OS X 11.0 and later: open "LaunchPad" ->
"CH34xVCPDriver" -> Install.
④When using OS X 10.9 through OS X 10.15, click Restart to restart your computer, and
perform the following steps after restarting.
[Link] the dmg format driver
①Install the dmg driver, click the dmg file and drag "CH34xVCPDriver" into the
application folder of the operating system.

[Link] whether the CH340 serial port driver is installed
When the control board is inserted into the USB port, open the system report ->
Hardware -> USB. On the right is the USB device.
If the USB device is working correctly, you can find a device with a "Vendor ID" of
[0x1a86].
