title: How to find the serial port number on Mac OS X?
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>How do I find out the port number? Is there a way to do this using Terminal on OS X maybe?</p>
