error code

[apedaniotti]

I have a puck air mares but when I try to import from my computer MacDive give me this error: error code -3. What does it mean?

[TnT]

It's a generic error code, most likely unexpected data. Can you send me a memory dump of your device? The procedure is explained in this topic: http://www.mac-dive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=407 You need to use the "puck" test application.

I steel have the problem
The error code is: "failed to read dive computer memory (error code -3)"
I try to download the program you suggest me but I have non result.

My dive comtuter si suith on, connected to "link PC"
How can I send the memory dump of my device as you ask me?

Download the test application here: http://www.divesoftware.org/libdc/builds/macosx/puck
Then follow the instructions in this topic: http://www.mac-dive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=407

If you have trouble somewhere, tell me at exactly which step so I can give more detailed help on that. Copy-and-pasting the terminal output of each command is useful too.

Sorry again. I download the test application at http://www.divesoftware.org/libdc/builds/macosx/puck as you suggested. Than I open in Applications>Utility>Terminal a terminal and I typed: "cd Desktop" as indicated in topic: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=407. This is the answer:

[macbook-di-alessandro-daniotti:Desktop Alessandro$ cd Desktop
-bash: cd: Desktop: No such file or directory]

When I try to import data the process is quite complete but at the end (100% of download) there is error code (failed to read dive computer memory (error code -3))

I try in different way (also with some error!):

Here's what you should do

1) Open Terminal
2) Type the following commands, one line at a time:

Code: Select all

curl -O http://www.divesoftware.org/libdc/builds/macosx/puck
chmod 755 puck
ls /dev/tty.*
./puck /dev/tty.usbserial-YOURDEVICENAME

Replace YOURDEVICENAME with whatever usbserial device name you found with the "ls /dev/tty.*" command.

You have to follow the instructions *exactly*

So you are almost there.

It is: "chmod u+x puck"

Without the quotes. Not chmod u+x puckair, or with no puck, etc. You have to be precise. This isn't a very user-friendly process, unfortunately. Your best bet is to copy and paste the instructions, changing only "vyper" to "puck", and in other places as indicated.
