Hi Folks
With MacOS app version v2.20 is the Waterfall supported? I’ve got SCU-Lan10 support enabled on the radio and the latest VCP Drivers install from
Thanks
Category: “Uncategorized” Please consider selecting a category from the menu above on the right.
Hi Stuart,
You will need to download a specific driver for that radio:
Please let us know if it works. We have not tested the FT-710 on macOS over USB port yet.
Thanks,

Hi there - It doesn’t seem to be working:
I installed the driver from here D2XX Drivers - FTDI I’m using Mac OS 26.3 on an M3 MacBook Air.

This is the device that provides scope data. It is quite possible that specific permissions are needed on
MacOS. I will get round to testing it at some point!
Thanks Phil, hope it was helpful.
Afternoon Phil, did you ever get a chance to look into this?
Thanks
Hello,
I don’t have a Mac, so I haven’t been able to verify this myself.
Please download and install the LibFT4222 file from the link below.
https://ftdichip.com/products/ft4222h/#tab-downloads_tab
DE JG3HLX NAKAO
Hi Nakao
I’ve got LibFT4222 installed, and registered correctly already. - No dice still.
Thanks
What does the log say? That will tell us everything we need to know. I have never tried the FT-710 on a Mac so it might be looking for a library with a different name.
Do you also have the generic D2XX driver installed? This is required as the FT4222 driver is just a stub I think. https://ftdichip.com/drivers/d2xx-drivers/
My Mac is not in the shack, so I will get the FT710 charged and try it.
Evening Phil latest log below, same issue as previously reported (I think) - An yes I used the download from the same link you provided.
I’m running Mac OS 26.5 on and M3 MacBook Air. (If I can help test in any way, obviously happy too) I can control the 710, just not seeing the scope. - The files that get installed have a full version number in the name e.g. libftd2xx.1.4.30.dylib - Could it be the app is looking for another filename, or perhaps a security/access issue caused by OS?
In /usr/local/lib are the files:
libftd2xx.1.4.30.dylib
libftd2xx.dylib
In /usr/local/include
ftd2xx.h
libft4222.h
WinTypes.h
Thanks for your time.

OK I have done some testing and I have a better appreciation of what’s happening.
The ‘easiest’ solution would be for us to include the libft4222.x.x.x.x.dylib and libftd2xx.x.x.x.dylib files within wfview. The library search function would then automatically find them. Unfortunately, due to the FTDI license being incompatible with our GPL license, we can’t do this and if you were to copy them into the folder within wfview.app, this would make MacOS assume that wfview is corrupt and refuse to run!
I was hoping that we could tell wfview where to look for these libraries, but it appears to only search within itself or /usr/lib. We can’t just copy the .dylib files to /usr/lib as MacOS will actively block it, so the solution appears to be to hard-code the location into the request (/usr/local/lib/libft4222)
I am going to try that and run a MacOS build and will let you know how I get on.
The /usr/local/lib folder will need to look like this (I think):
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 1096982 31 May 21:06 libft4222.1.4.4.221.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 40 31 May 21:06 libft4222.dylib -> /usr/local/lib/libft4222.1.4.4.221.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 1086832 31 May 21:06 libftd2xx.1.4.30.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 37 31 May 21:04 libftd2xx.dylib -> /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.1.4.30.dylib
OK, so I have libft4222.dylib loading in macOS Tahoe, but it certainly wasn’t straight-forward!
First I had to change the loading location in wfview to force /usr/local/lib, second I had to disable wfview running in a sandbox and allow access to external libraries. This will mean your stored settings location will have changed, so you will need to reconfigure wfview (take a note of any settings you have changed in v2.2.2 before installing the test version of wfview v2.2.4 from https://github.com/m0vse/wfview/releases/download/v2.2.4/wfview-macos.dmg (this is signed with the same security signature as all wfview MacOS releases.
Once you have it installed, then then you need to make sure you have the exact files as in my previous post in /usr/local/lib then run this command:
sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.dylib \
/usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.dylib \
/usr/local/lib/libft4222.dylib
This tells libft4222.dylib to look in /usr/local/lib for libftd2xx.dylib, you can double-check that this has worked by running:
otool -L /usr/local/lib/libft4222.dylib
You can then run the newly downloaded wfview app. It will tell you that it couldn’t load libft4222.dylib, just click OK (don’t click Delete). Then go into System Settings, Privacy & Security and at the bottom it will ask you to approve libft4222.dylib.
Once you have approved it, you should be able to run wfview again and it ‘should’ load the library and give you scope data!

You can probably skip the Privacy approval step, by forcing an adhoc signature with these commands:
sudo codesign --force --sign - /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.dylib
sudo codesign --force --sign - /usr/local/lib/libft4222.dylib
I have written a simple script (with some AI help) to install and sign the files in the correct place. Everything you need should be in the libft4222 download and this script will look for the download dmg in your Downloads folder, copy the relevant files and locally sign them:
Download the attached script into your Downloads folder and run these commands from terminal.
cd ~/Downloads
mv wfview-ft4222-setup-arch.txt wfview-ft4222-setup-arch.sh
chmod +x wfview-4222-setup-arch.sh
./wfview-4222-setup-arch.sh
wfview-ft4222-setup-arch.txt (7.9 KB)
Sorted 
Phil - Thank you so much for your time on this. After running your wfview-ft4222-setup.txt script it didn’t initially work, After rebooting it came to life
Thanks again
