Success with Golden Cheetah on Mac?

Triathlon Forum

I keep getting an error that no device can be found… says “No Serial Device Found. You may need to (re)install The FTDI or PL2303 drivers before downloading” So I started trying to install these things…

The guide is here http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/AppNotes/AN_134_FTDI_Drivers_Installation_Guide_for_MAC_OSX.pdf

I got through 3.1 installing the VCP drivers no problem.

Where I’m having trouble is 3.2 installing the D2 xx Drivers. I opened a terminal session but have absolutely no clue what to do from there.

Any help?

Essentially, you need to type in the commands in parenthesis and hit enter. A completely ridiculous and half assed installation method.

Golden Cheatah says this is a graphical installer for the drivers, have you tried it?

I installed golden cheetah on my mac, download my garmin to garminconnect, export the file to .tcx, then load it into golden cheetah. Would this not work for you?

I use the LYC with usb cable… so no, I don’t think so

I have that part installed. It’s the second part with the code stuff that I’m having trouble with. Getting really frustrated…

When I type in what it says my computer tells me no such command.

Here:

You have downloaded this correct?

http://www.ftdichip.com/...UniBin/D2XX0.1.7.dmg

It downloads to your download folder

You need to mount (double click on it) and then a finder window will open up.

Drag the D2XX folder to your desktop.

Open terminal

Copy and paste this (just copy all the lines at once)

cp Desktop/D2XX/bin/10.6/libftd2xx.0.1.7 /usr/local/lib
cd /usr/local/lib
ln -sf libftd2xx.0.1.7.dylib libftd2xx.dylib

Hit enter

You can now delete the D2XX folder off your desktop.

The driver is installed and a link (a short cut has been created for it, that is what the last command is.)

Thank you so much! It worked!
