MacDive Forums

Hi!

i'm trying to connect my vyper to my MB pro with 10.5.8 on it. Selecting the correct USB port works fine (after installing the right driver). The problem appears when I try to import the data from teh suunto to the mac.

The error I get is "Cannor identify dive computer" ...

Any suggestions?

thnxs!

So in Preferences -> Advanced, what shows up ?

What driver did you install - the FTDI 2.2.14 one ?

And, just to check, is the vyper in pc transfer mode?

I just updated to that version of the driver, and it looks like it changes the name of the serial port, just FYI.

Really?

From what, to what ?

From memory (I'm at work at the mo) the original one was /dev/tty.usbserial-ST000001 or some such.

Sometimes macdive can figure that out, but if you have other devices like a nokia it can get confused. Actually I should really try and make that a bit smarter/more robust in v2

Yup... That's what the previous version had.. When I upgraded and plugged in the Geo, I got /dev/tty.usbserial-20030001

I haven't tested everything to find out whether that's an Oceanic only change, or whether the Suunto behaves the same.

I expect to find out within a day or so...

Ah ok. Yeah, the oceanics were always different to suunto, as they're different chip ID's. The driver has a property list file and you can specify in that what the device should show up as.

@nick @egon Quick responses, thnxs!

Heres an overview:
- first I installed the lastest diver (2.2.14) and MacDive
- selected the correct port (/dev/tty.usbserial-ST000001) the only visible one btw
- connected the Vyper through the USB cable
- put the Vyper in PC mode (tr-pc)
- and try to import the data

... and then I started to cry

Tried restarting the Mac and the Vyper, re-installing the drivers and MacDive but nothing helped.

Any suggestions were I went wrong or what I've missed?

That all sounds good.

Vyper1 or 2? And, this may be a silly question, but which menu option are you choosing vyper or vyper2 (as they're very different) ?

Are you using a USB hub ?

And just to confirm, it's the official suunto cable?

It's the Vyper 1:

Actually tried both, but didn't work. It's has a Suunto logo on the back and came with an original Suunto CD so I look genuine.

It look like this one only I have the USB version:

Do you have windows ?

I'm wondering if you've tried the cable in Windows (Parallels etc) and it's worked, to rule out whether or not its faulty.
