It was tested successfully under Linux and Windows 7. It should also run under Mac OS/X, but I don't have any real Mac Hardware to test it. If anybody is interested to give the software a try on Mac OS/X please
follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.

There is no pyiler release at the moment since I do some polishing at the moments, so pull a zip file from the github page (button "download zip").

With kind regards,

Thanks Joachim, I'm very happy with it on Mac OS, so far.
I'm very new to all this stuff, bought a PIL-Box last week and I’m using pyILPER under Mac OS Yosemite.
I followed the steps described in the repo:
https://github.com/bug400/pyilper/blob/m...INSTALL.md
installed Miniconda added the channel bug400 and updated all as described.
I decided not to change or add drivers (kext) to see how it work out (of the box).
Then, to configure pyILPER, as none of the serial devices entry point appeared in the drop down menu, I used the following command in the terminal:

Code:


ls /dev/ | grep tty.usbserial

which gave me (with the PIL-Box physically connected):
tty.usbserial-FT94BLL1
so, under pyILPER configuration, Serial device, I put:
/dev/tty.usbserial-FT94BLL1
and boom, “connected to PIL-Box”!
And It works very well!
Thanks a lot -to all people involved- for all that great work, I will be following to see if more features are added…
