Ive got a pressing problem on my hands. I am using portal on my macbook air. I have the EK2100 kit.
I converted my snapstick to Virtual COM Port, and successfully uploaded the driver to be able to read it correctly. (You have to do this for mac apparently)
This is the forum I followed to do all of this stuff up to now. http://forums.synapse-wireless.com/showthread.php?t=716
Installed "thevUSBtoUART" driver. And this is what I pasted into my connection box "/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART"
Everything seemed to work fine. It connected to the stick and the node. I can see that on the command line. The only problem is that when I try to upload a SNAPpy Image, it works for half a second then basically shuts down on me. It comes up with "SNAP Communication timeout" every 5 seconds finally ending in
"2011-07-12 11:16:10 Node 40BC7 failed uploading SNAPpy image"
I have narrowed it down to it being a problem with the snapstick. But why is it doing this to me?
Is it because I a using the mac portal and it's not familiar with it?
Or is it because I changed the stick to Virtual COM Port that it is not working?
Thank you,
Tyler
