Hello,

Somehow I cannot connect my OSTC to my Mac to have the updates and transfer my logbooks.

I installed (i think) the USB drivers software and I am running Jdivelog vers 13 but somehow he does not allow me to select the OSTC (or any other device) in the settings menu?

Anybody experienced this before?
Any suggestions?

Thanks

hey... what elese did you do before you encountered that problem? btw what OSTC (mk I /II)? e.g. Mac(model) OS version do you run? my Settings for Jdivelog are: Com Port: /dev/tty.usbserial-A4004nSK (RXTX-2.1) Protocollversion: OSTC 1.19-1.25 G5 OS 10.5 one more question, can you also ask in German?
best regards Plauzer

Hi I have managed to connect my ostc2 to JdiveLog on my mac to use as a logbook and it's great but please can someone explain how to use it to download the latest firmware 1.6. Thanks!

Hello,

Updating the firmware with Jdivelog is actually not more complicated then with the Windows-Bootloader:

- Download firmware hex file for the correct unit (OSTC1 or Mk.2!)
- Select Tab "OSTC Firmware Update"
- Choose correct COM port
- open hex file in file dialog
- Power-on OSTC Mk.2 and go into 'Menu->Reset menu'
- Click "write flash" in jdivelog
- select and confirm "Reboot OSTC" in 'Reset Menu' within 10 seconds

Wait about one minute.

regards,
Matthias

Worked beautifully, first time, Thanks!

Hello,

I tried the method of tecdivers..
I have even tested the manual mode and writing the code.

I have a Mac Book Pro, running Snow Leopard 10.6
I seem to have the USB RXTX files

When I connect the OSTC MK2 version 1.50 to the USB port it is charging but still in JDivelog I cannot select him from the list..

Should I try ALL the USB ports on the Macbook or is it not important which port I take..?

Getting desparate,

I actually can select the OSTC as the computer but all the COM settings remain unselectable?

Hello to all,

Finally it works..I did the stuff again and believe I must have done something wrong while setting up JDivelog..

Thanks for all of your help..
