#lighthack & Mac OS X?

Hi All,

Does anyone have an idea of a timescale for when Mac OSC USB support will be added ?

For a project in a couple of months I would like to use my new Lighthack Encoder Wing with a Mac based Nomad system the company use.

Obviously I will look down either a Bootcamp or alternative hardware route if it isn't enabled by then, but wondering if there are any murmurings from Wisconsin .... ?

Hello,

We are hoping to have this support included with the next major release of Eos Family software. I can't promise any sort of date for that.

You may want to consider joining the Eos Open Beta forum (if you're not already a member). That will give you early access to the code (albeit, Beta code). We would certainly appreciate your feedback on the work when it's available!

When did you start 2.7 beta testing?

Sure, I totally understand you can't pre-announce when software will be released with any certainty.

It would however, for features as major as this, be useful to have some indication as to whether we should hope for the next release in a month, 6 months, a year.

I don't think anyone in the community is going to hold you to a date if a product needs a little more testing, but when the update cycle is so sporadic, "the next version" could literally mean anything.

I guess I should start installing BootCamp then ...

Beta for Eos v2.7 has not begun yet. I would guess that Eos v2.7 will be released by summertime. (Hopefully that gives me enough wiggle room).

Beta 2.7 has been opened! Mac osc over usb is working. It sometimes take a bit for the devices to connect. If you experience this I suggest restarting the software with the device already plugged in. This seems to work better.
I've gotten multiple devices working including teensy based projects without having to change PID/VID. Make sure you are compiling with the newest OSC library which is now available in the library manager inside the arduino IDE.

That are good news. I will test it next week.

I tested my project (fader wing with Arduino micro) with macOS.
Yes it works, like you mentioned there is some problem with hot plug of the Arduino device,
some times it works, sometimes not. Here a screenshot of the diagnostic.
