Download the Arduino IDE
Download the previous version of the current release the classic Arduino 1.0.x, or the Arduino 1.5.x Beta version. All the Arduino 00xx versions are also available for download. The Arduino IDE can be used on Windows, Linux (both 32 and 64 bits), and Mac OS X. So I removed the FTDI drivers from my Mac so it will use Apple's drivers. Now even after doing all this when I connect my Arduino Uno to my Mac via the USB it does not get detected. I removed the kext and pkg files for the FTDI drivers and deleted them completely, still when I open the System Report I still see the FTDI USB Serial Driver entry.
'Arduino' is not only the name of the microcontroller board, but also the name of a programming IDE based on C/C++. After you getting your Arduino board or compatible board such as Crowduino, you should install the IDE. Depending on OS version, the specific installation varies. Thankfully Arduino team provides us a detailed installation guide for most OS systems.
Please download the latest version of Arduino IDE at: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
