Can anyone confirm that Serproxy or Tinkerproxy works on Lion? I need to upgrade to continue the GFX development but I do not know if anyone is running Lion with GFX. If someone can confirm either way I would appreciate it very much.
Cheers.

I haven’t used tinkerproxy but serproxy worked after I did a make in 10.7 from the 32 bit linux source
jevon, can you do a quick test of tinkerproxy to see if it works?

sorry I stepped out for a bit
I haven’t gotten tinker to work although we did run the last race on a source built serproxy in 10.7.
I’ve just installed an ssd so I’m going through the process again, and with a purely 10.7 install not an upgrade.
gfx is my backup at this point as I’m writing a gold sprints program for gameduino, I don’t like taking my macbook to bars or really anywhere that drunken people might wander.
I’ll try tinker though
Ed, I don’t have an Apple, otherwise I would try. Luke does, and he is off until late January, so he is going to give it a shot and get back to you.
Is there anything else we can help you with?
I tried both tinkerproxy and serproxy built from source on Lion.
both seem to connect to the comm port, but Goldsprints FX just hangs at GO!
When gfx starts, (ser|tinker)proxy prints out
Server thread launched
server(1) – thread started
The configuration file changed slightly for tinkerproxy vs. serproxy. This should create the correct one for tinkerproxy:

I found this GUI for Tinkerproxy (Mac OSX 10.5+)
http://wolfgang.reutz.at/software/serproxygui/
this is the output from serproxygui. it seems to connect to the arduino. GFX doesn’t get past the GO! screen
Serproxy 0.2.0 – Tinker.it

actually, Tinkerproxy does work for me. I was using the current development version of the firmware instead of the original default basic_msg version. doh!
As for serproxygui, no luck yet with that.
i’m new with this , someone could pass the GO! screen using the basic_msg ? i’m trying to run in a teensy++ it connects using thinkerproxy GUI on mac os x 10.7.3 and when it starts the race the GO! screen stays there forever, also the monitor serial can’t print when the race is “started”. someone please help me Thanks!
Hello aalbertobus. I am not familar with teensy++. But if the GO! is not changing then you do not have thinkerproxy working correctly. From the posts above I know both tinkerproxy and serproxy work. Verify outside of GFX they are working first then try GFX.
Use this to configure serproxy:
