My computer can't seem to find the saber via R.I.C.E. In the top drop-down menu, I see two options--both Bluetooth. I get a green light when I tell it to connect, but I do not see anything in the second drop-down menu. I suspect there is a problem with the driver. I'm using Yosemite, the latest version. Is the driver a general USB drive driver or is it specific to the cable or the PRIZM? Anybody else used R.I.C.E. on Mac OS?

It's specific to the cable and the OS. I don't have the link handy, but in the store, there should be a link to the Silabs driver, and you just pick out the proper OS.

Thanks. I'll give it a try first thing in the morning.

Thanks for that! I installed it, and R.I.C.E. is up and running. Being able to refine parameter settings instantly without having to take the saber apart is amazing. It is also a serious time killer. Plus, the color mixing on PRIZM is unbelievable. I love this technology!
