Serial utility on OSX

We do not include a serial tool at this time (MTTTY was originally written as a microsoft tool), however, there is an easy way to open up a serial terminal on the mac.

To begin, ensure that your module is plugged in to the USB, and is powered up.

1) Open Terminal.app to open the underlying OSX command line

2) Type 'screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200'. This will open the linux utility screen and then connect to the module at 115200 baud. There is a chance that this command could be slightly different, especially if you have multiple netburner's plugged in to different USB ports. You can always type '/dev/tty.' and then tab complete to see the full list of tty's available

3) Thats it, terminal.app is now a serial monitor. To exit, its control+a, control+k, which kills the connection
