Hi Matthias,

although updating from 10.25 is not mandatory, it has come to my attention that I cannot connect my OSTC Sport to my MAC...

error regarding:

//
Port is not defined.
Port : Port is not defined.
Error: Port : Port is not defined.
//


I've downloaded and installed Ostc Companion v3.00 beta 8

also downloaded and installed the FTDI drivers (although not necessary according forum posts)

OS X El Capitan v 10.11.6

Can you please advise what to do, as I always want to have the latest version.
Even though it's not necessary this time, but what with future releases if I cannot connect with my Mac?

Thanks in advance
Jurgen

I've already tried but get this instead:

//
Loading firmware.
Unable to open port /dev/tty.OSTCs0907-SPPDev
Error: Unable to open port /dev/tty.OSTCs0907-SPPDev
//

what else can I do?

thanks for your time en advice.

have you seen the FAQ article about updating: read.php?6,14509 Scroll down, there is an alternative option to update with "subsurface", which works very well on the MAC.

Hope this helps...

regards,
Matthias

Downloaded Subsurface but didn't really know what to do... again...
changed port to COM18 in OSTC Companion didn't work as expected.
changed it to previous port...

didn't know what happened but it worked


thanks for the help Matthias.

cheers
Off diving now

Jurgen
