Hey everyone, first post on the forums, recently got my open water certification, fell in love with scuba diving, went out and bought some gear, and now digesting as much as I can about diving so I can get better.
I got an aladin sport because I was told it has a replacer battery, is a little easier to use compared to a single button computer, and basically does everything I would need a dive computer to do (not much fancy stuff going on here)
One thing I'm having trouble with is getting the damn thing to connect to the Logtrack software. I'm running Windows 10 and bought a generic IrDA dongle off of amazon. The computer sees the dongle, I'm pretty sure Logtrack sees the dongle, but the dongle won't connect to the sport. I keep trying to find a guide on how to get the two to play nice but googling is being tricky (it thinks I'm searching for Aladdin the Disney movie). Has anyone gotten this to work? Any particulars for me? Like where should I point the dongle to on the sport, how far it should be, etc.
I also read that people are struggling with IrDA and Windows 10, so I installed it on my wife's MacBook but it's still not finding the sport.
Also the software seems really out dated, is there a third party program that is better?
Thanks in advance!
