Re: serial port fail on Mac OS

Post by ajerschow »

Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't work under Windows, neither with 1.3 nor 1.4.

So, to sum up: the only way I can run the 'Test Port' is with v. 1.3 under Mac OS, but writing an image to SpokePov does not work (connection fails).

Any suggestions?

Do you think I should buy the USBtiny, or based on what I described it may not work either?
(I would like to use it with Mac OS).
Please advise
Thank you

Looks like it's working now with version 1.2. Not sure what made the difference.
Thank you for your help

we're going to get the code tested and anything necessary rewritten for vista/win7 and 10.5 - something changed :(

Bump

I just resolved compiling under OSX-10.6 but I'm running into the same issue as others. Is there a patch available?

Hey, I found a fix that seems to work for me posted in this thread: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=22386


If you already have it compiling though, all my fix amounts to is using macports and dropping the legacy libusb library and importing the current libusb and libusb-compat libraries and compiling with -arch 386i to force your code into 32-bit mode since 10.6 compiles to 64bit by default.

Best,
Samantha
