I have a mac too : here you find the information : https://duet3d.com/wiki/Getting_connected
first download print run for mac aka pronterface => http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/
klick on port connection you must see this :/dev/tty.usbmodemFA431
clic on connect and than follow From step number 4 from the link i set before .
it is very easy !
if your printer don't show in your port driver , it is possible you have to install FTDI driver for mac. -
I had already downloaded pronterface and my printer doesn't show up on any com port i will try what you suggested thanks for your help

These instructions are atrocious. Step one says skip this step if you aren't using Windows, then the rest of the instructions are all windows based anyways. I hope Duet3D can update the documentation some.
Will, did you ever get it working on your mac?
StefanC, How were you able to determine the right port?
Thanks!

For anyone else who finds this via Google, the way to determine your port on a Mac is :
-
Open Terminal (cmd+space, type terminal, hit enter)
-
Type 'ls /dev/tty.*' without the single quotes obviously. Hit enter.
-
You should see a not too large list of ports that are in use. Mine looked like:
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port /dev/tty.SOC
/dev/tty.MALS /dev/tty.usbmodem1442345 -
You're probably looking for one like /dev/tty.usbmodem1442345, but it will have a different number. If you have multiple ports that look like possibilities, just try them in pronterface.
Good Luck!
