I have just started experimenting with Serproxy and Arduino to get some serial data into Flash Builder/Flex. Serproxy seems to work fine and seems to connect to whatever port is specified. However, I am not able to see or read any data from the serial port using ActionScript. This is odd, because the Arduino should be printing data on a loop.

The only thing I can think of is that I am not setting the correct serial port number. I have been trying to figure out how to find out what number should be set, that is, 5331, 5332, 5333, etc.
How do I find out the port number? Is there a way to do this using Terminal on OS X maybe?

Mac Serial Port Terminal
CoolTerm is a simple serial-port terminal application (no terminal emulation) that is geared towards hobbyists and professionals with a need to exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports such as servo controllers, robotic kits, GPS receivers, microcontrollers, etc. If you get fed up watching the progress bar crawl along when updating your Mac to a new version of macOS, a Reddit thread has a useful hint to speed things up: using a Terminal command instead. The OS X system software provided with every MacBook includes Terminal, a program that accepts typed commands. Terminal is a handy program for changing settings and solving technical problems. You open Terminal much the same way you would any program on the Mac -- from the Finder, Launchpad or Spotlight. Installing Drivers and Software. Installation and Setup with the Setup Tool. Setting up a Serial Terminal with Mac* OS X*. (formerly called firmware). Steps to Set Up a Serial Terminal. Best screen sharing program for mac. Launch Spotlight by pressing Cmd + Space. Type terminal. Select the Terminal app. In the Terminal window, enter the command. ZTerm is a well known terminal emulation program thats been around for years, updated for Intel Macs. It supports VT100 emulation, which means it sorta kinda works with Meridian Mail (Function keys on a MacBook: fn + f-key).

You can find your Arduino via Terminal with
Terminal Programs For Mac
then you can read that serial port using the screen command, like this

I was able to screen using the device's name anyway so that wasn't the issue. I was actually just trying to find the port number, i.e. 5331, 5332 etc. I managed to find this by a trial and error process using an app called TCP2Serial from the app store on Mac OS X. It isn't free but that's fine as long as I know it works!

mac os x don't use com numbers. you have to use something like'ser:devicename' , 9600
