PicoScope 3205DMSO not recognized OSX 10.10.5

Post by miatech »

Computer: Apple iMac 27 inch late 2013
Computer: Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch mid 2012
OS: OSX 10.10.5
Installed: MonoFramework-MDK-4.2.1.102.macos10.xamarin.universal.pkg
Installed: PicoScope-6.11.8.5.pkg

Using either blue cable (USB2 or 3), PicoScope not recognized by system under System Information/System Report/USB

However,

Works perfectly using blue USB2 cable running VMWare Fusion/Windows7 virtual machine on MacBook Pro.

So - I'm not stuck. But curious why it won't run natively in OSX.

Update: There is an entry under "USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Bus" for "Westbridge".

Hi miatech,

We have discovered this few days ago. Newest version of mono (as any above and including 4.0.5, 4.2.1 especially) has introduced feature/bug, which causes issues with communication on the line PicoScope6 <-> drivers. The workaround/fix has been proved to work, now we are looking into preparing another release including those fixes.

In mean time you could try to use older version of mono; 3.12.0 works for me.


Regards,
Mario

I had the same problem with an unrecognized scope, and installing Mono 3 worked for me.
Thanks!

The fixes for mono have now been included in the new release 6.11.8.11, that just made its way to the website.
