Hello,
I've got the NXTcom which comes with the package for NXC on mac. It download the program to the brick. Yet I got 2 NXTs I want to download programs at the same time. I can either define the serial number or the com port. I'm to sure how to find out the certain serial number or com port. Could somebody assist me?

Thanks

All sort.

The serial port (com port) depends on the hardware and OS you use, it can change from time to time. It usually won't change from NXT to NXT. You have to use your bluetooth driver to specifiy it, and connect to a certain NXT device.

The NXT's serial is its Bluetooth MAC adress. You can find it out using the menu on the brick, see the last paragraph here: https://code.google.com/p/nxt-python/wiki/FAQ

For some time now it has not been necessary to use nxtcom with the NBC compiler since it can communicate with the NXT directly via the Fantom drivers. I would encourage you to start using the built-in NXT communication feature rather than nxtcom. Are you using the nxtcc or nxt tools for Mac OSX utilities that I have written?
