Hi Frédéric!

At least on my system it doenÂ´t run - 10.4 on a G5 DP. Says: fatal error.

best to you, Klaus

Same here on 10.4.11. How difficult would it be to build it so that it is compatible with 10.4? Do you have to use a machine with 10.4?

Yes, compilation must be done on 10.4 to work on both systems. I have access to such machine, at work, but unfortunally, Qt/PyQt compilation fails, and I don't understand why. This machine might not be correctly installed, but as it is not mine, I can't do anything

Jeremy, who packaged Papywizard for MacOS, only has a 10.5 system...

Hi Frederic,
just playing with the Macversion.
When I enter a FoV 90/90 I get a start at -29,6/-22,5 and an end of 29,6/22,5
When I want to run a gigapan simulation this goes wrong because it starts left under (of course).
Why isn't start just at -29,6/22,5 ?
Is there a reason for it ?
When I define start and stop with the arrow keys there is no problem.
grtz
Frank

Jeremy, wait for the final 2.0.0, which should come soon...

Frank, this is an arbitrary choice. But I plan, in a future release, to allow the user choose the corner from where to start, whatever start/end values are...

Oké, fine to me but it was a question from a good friend of mine using the gigapanstitcher some times..

Is a BT connection Mac>>Merlin via PW confirmed allready ?

Strange error... Can you send the complete log?

About BT, It does not work as Jeremy didn't installed any python compatible bluetooth stack, as the usual one is not available on MacOS... We have to investigate.

So several users have reported the software running under OS 10.5. However, has anyone been able to communicate with the hardware via the tethered connection? If so, what were you're "Hardware" settings in the "Configuration" window?

Yes I set to "serial" and point to the installed device (FTDI TTL 232),

/dev/tty.usbserial-FTE0WXEI

it may be different on your machine have a look in /dev

Now I am confused...
How do you connect the Mac to the Merlin , tethered ?
Cable/drivers/set-up/screenshots ?

by **fma38** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 9:15 pm

by fma38 » Thu Mar 12, 2009 9:15 pm

I think Jeremy uses a USB-TTL cable, through the Papywizard serial driver... The BT does not work (yet) on MacOS, but it is always possible to create a pseudo-serial driver to connect to the BT device, and use teh serial driver in Papywizard.

Wade, that is what I am trying to figure out. I am not sure if I have a driver issue, a Papywizard configuration issue, of if I simply did not solder the connections correctly.

BTW, how does one post a picture? Does it have to be hosted on a website? I selected "img" but when I preview the post, it simply shows the location on my hard drive, not the image itself.

To use IMG the image must be on a web site and refered to using "http://etc" but if you don't use the Quick Post button but instead Post Reply or Quote then an Image Upload option is displayed and you can upload one ore more images from you hard disk...

I use tethered setup USB->TTL cable as described earlier. You need to install a driver just like on windoze. The only difference is the device is a /dev like Linux. Once I installed the driver I took a look in /dev and saw /dev/tty.usbserial-FTE0WXEI. I entered this in the serial port field (just like Linux).

If you are using the FTDI type converter the virtual comm port drivers can be found here,
