Failure to find Eggbot serial port on MacOS/Linux #1

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Originally Reported by westfw, May 25 (4 days ago)
getSerialPort fails to work on MacOS (and probably not on linux), resulting
in an "eggbot not found" message.

You might think that "open the Nth serial port" would be a OS-independent
sort of action, but apparently this never does anything except on windows.
Mac and Linux will require looking for /dev/tty.usb* or similar, as per the
earlier version of the extension in the eggbot forums.

A fix has been added in eggbot_6_02_10b.zip that allows the software to find 
the Eggbot on the Mac.  

(Well, mine at least. Additional verification would be helpful.)

The change may also improve the situation on Linux, but I have not been able to 
test this yet.

From testing, we believe that the current software version (06_05_10) 
automatically finds the Eggbot on Mac, 
Windows, and Linux.  

Verification, and change of status to "Verified" would be appreciated.
