Mac_OS_X VM Options about moppyclassic

[gorhgorh]

hi there, i just went through the installation process on Maverick this weekend so maybe i'll be able to help you out a bit .

i had hard time compiling rxtx so i used the one given here.

i copied both RXTXcomm.jar and librxtxSerial.jnilib to /Library/Java/Extensions.

in my netbean project i changed the vm option line (found in the "run" categorie, not in the "run" tab of the "libraries" one) to :

-Djava.library.path="/Library/Java/Extensions"

you should now be able to compile .

IF you run into permission issue after you should either fix the perm issues / copy the files elsewhere (in your project ?) and point there instead.

hope it helps, and if you run into more troubles i would be happy to help with :)

to test if your setup is working, you could also use this program that contain a pre compiled version of Moppy.

enjoy floppy music :)

Hi, again, thanks for the help earlier gorhgorh, that seemed to do the trick. Now i only have one more problem, when i try to upload the program to the Arduino, i can't get the right ports or the ports are already being used. It comes up with this error...

Is there any special drivers that i have to use for Mac, versus Windows 7? I have preformed projects on the windows machine, but never on the mac, thus why i seem to be having problems. I do have the Arduino IDE for Mac, and i have tried the trouble shooting section on Arduino.cc.

Thanks in advance.

This doesn't seem to be an issue with Moppy, but just with your Arduino IDE / hardware set up.

You'll be better off looking for help in an Arduino-specific forum or on Google than here. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
