I just received my ESP32-DevKitC and I'm trying to figure out how to communicate with it via my MBP running MacOS Sierra.
I tried comparing the output of ls-al /dev/tty* before and after plugging in the USB cable. Unfortunately, no additional tty port is showing up. I know El Capitan made some changes which blocked the uncertified drivers some of the FTDI chips for the esp8266 dev boards - so I suppose its possible that the DevKitC isn't compatible, though I hope not...
Does anyone know which port I should be looking for?

Have you installed Silabs VCP driver? DevKitC should show up as /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART.

Thanks again!
