Issue with stand-alone listener on Mac OS X

Listener download: Mac OS X

Due to restrictions added by Gatekeeper, the new code signing feature for Mac, any exported and zipped Processing application is flagged as "damaged" and will not run by default on Mac OS X.

There are a few options to work around this:

  • In terminal, run xattr -rc /path/to/listener.app (probably the best option)
  • Under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, change the setting for Allow applications downloaded from: to Anywhere.
  • Download the source directory from this repository ( listener/ ) and run/export that with Processing

See issue #7

Conflict with other serial communications

This library requires exclusive access to the serial port in order to function properly. Any existing Serial.println() statements must be removed.

In a future release, will be adding a debug console in the plotter to provide alternative message printing.

See issue #11
