OSTC PLUSS Issues connection to MAC

Post by jbrenoe@hotmail.com »

Hi,

I just received my new OSTC pluss today, but I´m having issues connecting it to my MAC to update the software, download the log etc.

It shows as paired in the BT settings window, but it will not connect to Maldive, subsurface, OTSC Companion or OSCT Planner.

Does anyone have setup for "dummies" or some good tips on how to get it done?

You have chosen an OSTC 3 in the comapion. That's a USB model. Try OSTC 3+ or OSTC Sport (Depending on the version you got) instead.

Thanks,

but I think the main issue is that the port number/value is wrong. Could anyone who has their ostc connected to their mac copy and past here the value/name of the port setting?

There is a list with the ports names. But you need to select a bluetooth model in order to get the bluetooth port names shown. There can't be too many in your case, just choose the one with the serial number of your unit. They are named like "cu.OSTCs0345-SPP", for example.

Ok, I´ll try the one you sent.

The problem is that I don´t get any choices. Look at attached picture.
