macos 10.13 /dev string changed

[tehn]

older series devices with a dash in them ie m64-1000 now show up as m64_1000 in the /dev entries, which makes them undetectable i guess.

this is actually a libmonome issue, likely solved here:

@tehn Any idea why this is happening? Changes in macOS itself or some supporting library (i.e. could it also happen on another OS)?

[tehn]

Given it's the Apple FTDI driver that's shipped with the OS (and not the OEM FTDI driver) I'd assume this problem is confined to MacOS

@tehn @wrl

Wondering if part of it gets fixed in this statement in libmonome.c, i.e. double checking if it's a dash or an underscore?

static monome_devmap_t *map_serial_to_device(const char *serial) {
	monome_devmap_t *m;
	int serialnum;

	for( m = mapping; m->sermatch; m++ )
		if( sscanf(serial, m->sermatch, &serialnum) )
			return m;

	return NULL;
}

I'd imagine the device.h file might change a bit like this?
{"m128%s%d", "series", {16, 8}, "monome 128", NO_QUIRKS},

Just looking at the source, it seems that's where it's being called in the constructor, around line 81.

And apologies I can't make these changes myself. My C skills (and build environment) are absurd level rusty.

[tehn]

that would indeed fix it (i'm pretty sure) but serialosc isn't compiling right now on mac 10.13 with some error that i'm not immediately clear about.

in the meantime i've suggested 10.13 users install an old FTDI driver from 2015 which fixes the issue: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_3.dmg
