Q: Arduino restarts macbook

Sep 23, 2016 7:18 AMby darren.s,Hi, panagorn! Thanks for joining Apple Support Communities!
It appears that after you upgraded your MacBook Pro to macOS Sierra, you connected Arduino and the Mac booted to a black screen. I'll be glad to help.
1. Try safe mode if your Mac doesn‘t finish starting up -- Safe mode makes sure your Mac is starting up right.
2. How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac -- Resetting NVRAM is indicated when there's an issue with the display.
3. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac -- Resetting the System Management Controller makes sure everything starts up correctly.

Sep 26, 2016 2:16 PMby liantony01,I think that what your problem because that was mine, if you use the driver (CH341SER_MAC 2) for Arduinos clone is not compatible with the new Mac OS and when arduino connects the system reboots, my solution was to install the mac os clean, and use original arduino

Oct 3, 2016 8:50 AMby Atz'cko,I have tested and every time I plug in an arduino that has ch340 or ch341 chip for usb2serial communication my mac restarts whit a screen showing "there was a problem", but any other chip based arduino or ESP8266 has no problem. Now all there is to figure out why is this particular chip a problem for the new macOS Sierra.
PS: I didin't have to install mac os clean, everything else works fine.
