[title] Connect to Duet - Mac OS
[* icon_caution] This step is for '''Mac OS''' users only! Windows and Linux users skip this step.
[* blue] To connect to your Duet, we recommend using [https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/serialtools/id611021963|SerialTools from the AppStore]. Install SerialTools and run it. Select the Duet from the 'Serial Port' drop down; it will be named something like "usbmodem1411". Baud rate should be 115200, and Local Echo should be ticked. Click 'Connect' to connect.
[* icon_note] If you are connecting to a Duet 2 WiFi, you may see lots of ''"WiFi reported error: no known networks found"'' messages. Don't worry, that's normal.
[* blue] It is also possible to use the built-in 'screen' terminal application. However, you cannot see the commands you type in, and the responses from the Duet are not formatted nicely on the screen. If you want to use 'screen', do this:
[* black] Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal, then run '''ls /dev/tty.*''' Copy the result that has USB in the name. For example; '''/dev/tty.usbmodem1411'''
[* black] Run '''screen /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 115200'''. Replace "usbmodem1411" with the result you received. You should see a blank screen. If you are connecting to ascreen, but see note on Duet 2 WiFi, you may see lots of ''"WiFi reported error: no known networks found"'' messages. Don't worry, that's normalWiFi below.
[* black] Run '''screen /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 115200'''. Replace "usbmodem1411" with the result you received. You should see a blank screen. If you are connecting to ascreen, but see note on Duet 2 WiFi, you may see lots of ''"WiFi reported error: no known networks found"'' messages. Don't worry, that's normalWiFi below.
[* black] Hit enter and you should see OK returned. You are connected successfully.
[* icon_caution] If you get an error, ''Sorry, could not find a PTY.'' unplug the USB, plug it back in and try again.
[* icon_note] No matter which connection method you use, if you are connecting to a '''Duet 2 WiFi''', you may see lots of ''"WiFi reported error: no known networks found"'' messages. Don't worry, that's normal, and it means that the Duet is working!
