Before this all, pair your device with your Mac. This can be done from
the phone or from the Mac.
Prepare XCSoar:
- In XCSoar go to the devices menu (configure-configure-setup system,
menu number 9):
- In "port" you can choose your BT paired device by name.
- Under "name" choose "condor" (maybe this should be changed to
"simulator" in the future)
- You're done!
Then prepare your Mac:
- Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth
- Select your smartphone device
(The following is between brackets, because I'm not sure if this is
important, but since this step my system started to function...
- Click on the little clog
- Remove all serial connections, if configured before)
- Go to "Advanced"
- Add a serial service (click the +) under the menu "serial services
that devices use to connect to this computer:"
- Choose a unique NAME and remember it, I called mine "GPS"
- Choose RS-232 as protocol
- Click OK
- Exit Preferences
- Restart your Mac
Prepare SilentWings:
- Go to preferences
- click on NMEA
- Enable
- type as port: /dev/cu.NAME
- Exit Preferences
Now, when you start XCSoar it will start "devices" which means it will
connect to your mac, because your mac now advertises the newly created
serial port.
BUT, if your device will not get any input from your Mac within 3-5
seconds it will disconnect and won't re-connect even after starting SW.
So: first start SW to the point of flying (output is generated),
pause, then start XCSoar. It will connect, detect NMEA and stay
connected.
Enjoy, Reno

Yes, Reno, that would be nice. I am one of these Mac users, too.
With what it's got under the hood, it should not be too much
different from Linux, though ...
