I have been looking at Subsurface dive log 1.2 which offers to download Atomic Cobalt.
I can't make it work. I suppose that it may not be implemented, or that my bonafide software installation which includes libusb may interfering or incompatible. My installation and connection works fine with the Atomic software.
I can't see any Atomic support in the latest snapshot, so I suppose it is the former. If this is a work in progress I may be of some [not insignificant] help to the implementor(s). If they are interested, get in touch with me.
Perhaps there is Fog in the cockpit and I am doing something wrong?
My platform is Win7/32 and I am entering COM3 as the device. "COM3" works fine with Uwatec. The Cobalt is attached and "Connected" (enumerated and recognized by PC) I have tried three different firmwares, currently 1.13/1
Is there a special device name or sequence.
Are you compiling subsurface and the libdivecomputer library from source, or are you using the precompiled packages? I think the precompiled packages are build without usb support, and thus have no cobalt support.
If you build yourself, make sure to use the latest code from the git repository. The snapshot on the libdivecomputer website is quite old, and also doesn't have usb support.
The next thing you have to be aware of is that the libdivecomputer library requires a different driver than the atomcics application (they are both using libusb under the hood, but we are using the more recent 1.0 version instead of the legacy 0.1 version). Instructions for switching between the drivers are available on the Diving Log website:
