Moving Processing project from PC to Mac Intel
Oct 13th, 2006, 7:26pm  
Hi

I am rather pulling my hair out here

I have a project that uses serial data from two ultrasonic sensors with a BX-24 as the ADC. This is used to break up webcam images. It works fine on the PC.

I wanted to work with a sound element and my sound person is only used to MAC. I am linking from Processing to PD

So I moved everything over and all is working except the Serial.

I have bought a SerialtoUSB converter from Easysync with an FTDI driver

It is available on the Mac under the system profile

I have tried to use Zterm to see data coming in but it does not recognise the port

I have used the basic serial examples and this is what I get from the serial port list


Available serial ports:
Stable Library
=========================================
Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
Java lib Version   = RXTX-2.1-7
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem

So there is no USB/Serial device here

I have done the Mac os update in the Serial library

I would be very grateful for any help

Sorry

I have sorted this out
It was mainly because I am finding my way around the MAC again after several years as a PC user

I downloaded updated Intel mac FTDI drivers from FTDIChip.com and went through the install procedure again. Then I repeated the Macos additional command in the Processing serial library directory

I had also made the mistake of selecting the usbserial port in the network port options
(this should be unticked)
