Mobile

Android APK

  • Android 6 / 7 / 8 / 8.1 (for USB version the OTG feature must be supported), minSDK=21 (Android 5.0)

Apple iPhone & Apple Watch

Desktop (standalone) app

Windows 7 & 10

  • before running the app, open the Device Manager, expand Ports (COM & LPT) and find your adapter. Ensure that the Device status states This device is working properly. If not, then you probably need to install older drivers for this adapter (a workaround).
  • please refer to the Known Issues page in case of odd mouse behavior under Windows when PM is connected via FT232

Linux Ubuntu 16.04+

  • the ownership of device /dev/ttyUSB0 is dialout group so must add yourself to the group and re-login or run with sudo (not recommended)

macOS Sierra 10.12 & Catalina 10.15

  • you may need to install correct driver for your version of uart-to-usb
    • for PL2303 you can use this one, however for some uart-to-usb versions you must always detach the device before closing the app otherwise the java process may hang blocked by the driver on I/O operation.
    • for FT232 the built-in (com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI) driver just works, what's more FT232 based uart-to-usb implementations behave much better on macOS (see above)
