Mac OS Sierra - Exception(ExceptionCode.INVALID_PLATFORM)

[cldauden]

Hi!
When using the python API (in PyCharm) with Mac OS Sierra, I keep getting this error because it says that the platform system is not Windows or Linux:

File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/bitalino.py", line 90, in init
raise Exception(ExceptionCode.INVALID_PLATFORM)
Exception: This platform does not support bluetooth connection.

Can this API run in Mac OS?
Thanks!!

Hi there,

On Mac OS you need to connect to the device using the Virtual COM Port... from the message it seems that you're trying to connect using the Bluetooth MAC address.

Also, this repository refers to a legacy version of the API. You can find the latest resources and documentation here:
