i just got my hands on a ESP8266 and very excited to get started. With my Linux and Arduino IDE its working without any problems, but when I try to access the board from my Macbook with Sierra, it does not show up as a Board in the IDE.
I tried several driver, even bought the one from mac-usb-serial.com, but it still don't show up. I do see the board in my system:

Code: Select all# ioreg -p IOUSB
+-o Root  <class IORegistryEntry, id 0x100000100, retain 15>
  +-o Root Hub Simulation Simulation@14000000  <class AppleUSBRootHubDevice, id 0x100000327, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (120 ms), retain 16>
    +-o BRCM20702 Hub@14300000  <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x100000bc1, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (271 ms), retain 18>
    | +-o Bluetooth USB Host Controller@14330000  <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x100000c25, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (204 ms), retain 23>
    +-o USB2.0-Serial@14200000  <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x100001504, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (27 ms), retain 15>

Any idea why I cant use it in the Arduino IDE?

Many Thanks

I found a solution in the meanwhile. I use the driver from http://kig.re/2014/12/31/how-to-use-arduino-nano-mini-pro-with-CH340G-on-mac-osx-yosemite.html and they work without any problem.

May be this helps someone.
