Hi,

I made a dump with the libdc app and I sent the files as instructed. The dump ended with success. Any suggestions? (and it works on pc... but I'm stopping using it )

Thanks - indeed, there are a couple of issues with the Puck at the moment.

You can try 1.5.2 and see if that works, otherwise v2 should fix this all up.

No luck with 1.5.2

I'll have to wait until v2.
Can I test a beta version maybe?

[nick]

I will be gearing up to get some beta copies out fairly shortly to a few people. Actually I should go and post a status update!

Good day to all of you!

I have a Mares Wrist Puck that was working fine with v1.5.3 on my MacBook running Leopard. The MacBook was recently stolen and we replaced it with a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Testing MacDive v1.5.3 with the Mares Wrist Puck today it worked fine and imported all my dives.

One strange thing that happened when I connected the Mares USB cable interface was that the Mac wanted to setup the Uart to USB connection as a network connection. I cancelled out of that prior to running MacDive.

If there is any testing I can do to help ensure the Mares Wrist Puck works with v2.0.0 just let me know. I would love to help out again with this wonderful software package.

Thanks - I think the Puck is working pretty well with v2, so as soon as I get it out you can give it a try. It fixes a lot of the bugs that 1.5.3 has too (ignoring whether you've specified only import new dives, connection problems etc).
