GPS Data Logger Software - BT747

Can add icon (like in your homepage) to Mac OS X distribution?!

This doesn't work for me on my macBook Pro, with Holux M421. I execute BT747 Desktop (v1.61.3). It starts up fine, and looks great! I select "Bluetooth (for Mac)", speed 38400, and press "connect". No connection. The error message is

• Info: trying to open /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART

• gnu.io.NoSuchPortException.

It looks like it doesn't try the holux port /dev/tty.HOLUX_M-241-SPPSlave-1.

Is BT747 Desktop supposed to work with the Holux? bt747_macosX.command is working for me.

Thanks for any help.

The process can be split in three big steps:

1. Install the serial link driver
2. Prepare to get the serial link to work (RxTx driver, only once)
3. Install the application

In more detail, it goes like this:

1. Usually the manufacturer did not care about MacOS, so you need to get the serial driver yourself from http://www.silabs.com (CP2102 VCP drivers).

   You do not need that driver if you are using bluetooth.
