MacDive/Geo2 trouble connecting for the first time

[Andrew80]

Hello,
I'm new to MacDive. I recently purchased a Geo 2 and the special usb cable that goes with it (04-9610). I've bought MacDive and downloaded the FTDI driver but when I try and import from my dive computer i get this message:

"Import Error
Failed connecting to dive computer on serial port '/dev/tty.usbserial-20030001' (Error Code: -5)"

Also these sort of devices appear on my desktop but theres nothing. I havent dived with the computer yet as i'm still trying to get the software to recognise my Geo 2. It could be just because the computers still empty...

Would appreciate any help i can get
Cheers

Can you run the "atom2" test application? Instructions are here: http://www.mac-dive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=407

For what it's worth, the Geo 2 is not officially supported. We'd require the testing data to get it added properly.

This is what I tried with the test app but i dont think it worked...

Either you forgot to download the atom2 test app, or you didn't download it to your "Desktop" directory but somewhere else (most likely the "Download" directory). In that last case you have to move it to the desktop directory, or adjust the "cd" command with the right directory.

When you run the test application, you have to supply the correct portname on the command line, like this

/Users/andrewthomas/Desktop/atom2 /dev/tty.usbserial-20030001

If you omit a portname, it will try to use /dev/ttyS0 which doesn't work of course.

This looks like maybe you just double clicked on the test app ?

If so, you actually have to follow the instructions in the forum thread - double clicking on it doesn't work properly.
