Description

Clemson University provides changed m-files (COM_) to fully support USB on Mac OS. Source:  http://ces.clemson.edu/ece/crb/ENGR141/CubeSolverProjectFiles.zip

Their readme-file says:

Unfortunately, the RWTH Toolbox does not support USB on Mac OS X out of the box. However, it's a simple fix. Open the RWTH folder that you downloaded and replace the following files in it with those that you find here.

COM_OpenNXTEx.m
COM_SendPacket.m
COM_CloseNXT.m

We'd have to check whether the changes are really necessary, and how they could be integrated into the toolbox. Appropriate switches / ifs would have to be added to create one version for all OS (right now, their Mac files will probably not be compatible with Windows).

The changes are attached as patch.

The problem with Mac seems to be that "fantom" is named "Fantom". I made a little change in the code wich loads the "Fantom" library as "fantom" if running on a Mac. This should work but is NOT TESTED!

The change can currently be found here: http://www.mindstorms.rwth-aachen.de/trac/browser/branches/staas/64Bit_libusb/mfiles

And will be included in the next milestone release.

Please report back if this works for you!
