[C.CC USERS] Using Mac for Plumbing Firmware Upload

[Christian Lewis]

Hi, I'm really not sure if I'm doing this mail listing thing correctly, but here goes nothin'!

So I'm trying to get started with using concurrency on my Arduino Mega 2560, so I've gone into the Transterpreter software for Mac to upload the Plumbing firmware onto the Arduino, but I keep getting this message in the window that you upload from, it says:

Uploading Plumbing firmware
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

avrdude done.  Thank you.

firmware upload exited with error code: 1

I've tried ports:
- /dev/tty.usbmodem1d11
- /dev/cu.usbmodem1d11
- /dev/tty.usbserial-A9007U6Z   (this one gives a different message, saying that it can't open the device and that there is no such file directory)

None of these work. It says in the Concurrency PDF that this firmware is "just an overgrown Arduino sketch", so does that mean that I could take the file that Transterpreter is trying to upload to my Arduino Mega and place it in the Arduino IDE and just upload it from there and continue on how I would, had this problem not occurred? If not, then does anyone know what might be the problem and how I could fix this?

Thanks for any advice.
