Sequencer does not work/start on Mac OS X 10.6.1
Hello,
just got two BlinkMs from sparkfun this week, they are really great little devices!
I tested one on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.1 - the Sequencer doesn' t work / start at all - console says something like "can't find BlinkMSequencer.class".
Switching from Java 64 bit to 32 bit did not help, compiling (with the Arduino IDE) did not work for me :( - works fine on my iMac G5 running OS X 10.5.8 though.
Of course I don't like to downgrade to 10.5 just because of the BlinkMSequencer - desperately need some help, please.
Greetings from Germany and sorry for my bad englisch ;)

Inappropriate?Hi Michael,
We don't have any 10.6 machines yet. I'll see about getting a virtual machine installed with it this weekend and let you know what I find. Apologies.
What version of Processing are you running? -
Inappropriate?Hello todbot,
thanks for your fast answer. I use Arduino IDE 17.
I copied the console for you:
[0x0-0x1c81c8].BlinkMSequencer[4020] [LaunchRunner Error] The main class "BlinkMSequencer" could not be found.
[0x0-0x1c81c8].BlinkMSequencer[4020] [JavaAppLauncher Error] CallStaticVoidMethod() threw an exception
[0x0-0x1c81c8].BlinkMSequencer[4020] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
[0x0-0x1c81c8].BlinkMSequencer[4020] at apple.launcher.LaunchRunner.run(LaunchRunner.java:112)
[0x0-0x1c81c8].BlinkMSequencer[4020] at apple.launcher.LaunchRunner.callMain(LaunchRunner.java:50)
[0x0-0x1c81c8].BlinkMSequencer[4020] at apple.launcher.JavaApplicationLauncher.launch(JavaApplicationLauncher.java:52)
com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[300] ([0x0-0x1c81c8].BlinkMSequencer[4020]) Exited with exit code: 1
Maybe this helps.

Inappropriate?Hello todbot,
got it! I tried Processing 1.0.5 (first time I ever used it) and found the "export application"-function in its menu - now I have a double-clickable working sequencer :)
Thanks a lot for your help!!
Is it possible to get the BlinkM-Firmware?
Greetings and have a nice weekend
Michael
I’m thankful & excited!

Inappropriate?Hi Michael,
Glad you got it working! As for the BlinkM firmware, if you'd like to reflash your BlinkM boards wth the official firmware, email us at blinkm at thingm.com and we'll send you the hex file. If you'd like to try your hand at the source code, there is an open source clone of the BlinkM firmware that implements most of the functionality at http://code.google.com/p/codalyze/wik...
