MK3 – VE Bus on Victron Connect using Mac

Hi there,

I'd like configure or update a firmware on a M+ using Victron Connect 5.8 with MK3. Victron Connec always says…« No devices found ». It seems the MK3 is not found with Mac OS. And yet it works well when Victron Connect for Windows with Parallels runs.

Do I need a MK3 driver for Mac OS ??

Other question : what is the password for VE bus settings on Victron Connect ?


Thanks for your help ! ;-)

I've got an answer about MK3+mac:

no drivers needed,

"It’s also possible that his Parallels is “capturing” the MK3 and stealing it away from the MacOS client. He should make sure he has released it back to the parent OS. "

Thanks Daniël ! I'll try again to connect my MK3 without Parallels running… But I don't know how to verify MK3 will be recognized or seen by Mac OS.
