com error

Post by roggesound »

I have a minipov3 kit that I'm attempting to make into a brain machine following the instructions in volume 10 of make magazine. I'm on a macbook pro 10.5.7 and using a serial to usb adapter (I don't know who made the adapter, but the mac tells me it's the 2303 style).

I am having a problem writing to the chip. Here's a screen shot:

I believe the problem is that -P should not be com1, but should be /dev/cu.PL2303-0000201a, as I specified in the first line. How can I change that?

Thanks. Sorry, I'm very new at programing.
