    11.2. Importing dives from the Uwatec Galileo

    +
    + + + +
    +Note +The Uwatec Galileo dive computers use infra red (IrDA) communication +between the dive computer and Subsurface. The Uwatec hardware uses +a USB dongle based on the serial infra-red (SIR) protocol and the +MSC7780 IrDA controller manufactured by MosChip +and marketed by Scubapro and some electronics companies. +Under Linux, the kernel +already provides for communication using the IrDA protocol. However, +the user additionally needs to load a driver for the IrDA interface +with the dive computer. The easiest way is to load the irda-tools +package from the Linux IrDA Project. +After the installation of the irda-tools, the root user can specify a device name +from the console as follows: +irattach irda0
    +
    +

    After executing this command, Subsurface will recognise the Galileo +dive computer and download dive information.

    +

    Under Windows, a similar situation exists. Drivers for the MCS7780 are +available from some Internet web sites e.g. +www.drivers-download.com.

    +

    For the Apple Mac, IrDA communication via the MCS7780 link is not +available for OSX 10.6 or higher.
