UGS on OSX



cd /Users/DriveDocs/Downloads/UniversalGcodeSender-v1.0.9/
java -jar -Xmx256m UniversalGcodeSender.jar
one line:
control l ( clear terminal)
java -jar /Users/DriveDocs/Downloads/UniversalGcodeSender-v1.0.9/UniversalGcodeSender.jar

You have to "unlock" the machine by typing '$X' in the command line.
It is also a button in machine control tab.
But when I started UGS there where no Port available to select.
After researching a bit, the solution was easy.
You just enter the path to your serial driver in the box.

In my case:
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1420
In my case:
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1420

So now I can finally run my steppers from UGS.

Where did I find the serial driver you might ask?
I had issues communicating with my Arduinos, but this post lead my to the solution:

El Capitan

Many instructions down below were written for the old driver, which was not signed, and therefore was not working out of the box on OS-X Yosemite and El Capitan. The latest driver appears to be signed, and should work out the box. The new driver is here: CH34x_Install.zip (111Kb).
