Pronterface not connecting

I am trying to use MACPronterface but it is not connecting the ensi is plugged in to the USB on the Mac.
what I see trying the buttons on the interface page is this: I expect it is something simple but I dont see it the port box has 2 instances of
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port and /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port no sign of USB and selecting either of them makes no change.
:

turned out to be a bad USB cable... but I got it working with one from my "closet of computer history' from the "bag of holding"(cables) right next to the SCSII cables from 1984 😀
every time I run the mesh leveling it comes out differently here is the last one ... they were getting a tiny bit worse every time
