This is the first part of the Guide to Connect Sphero with Mac

Connect Sphero with your Mac
============================

To connect your Mac with Sphero we need to download and install [Multicom](http://members.iinet.net.au/~mgl/MartysPlace/MultiCom.html)

The connection between your Sphero(s) and your Mac will be created by a serial port connection using your bluetooth in your mac.

Set up a new device
-------------------

1. To set up a Bluetooth device, click “Set Up New Device” and follow the onscreen instructions to set up your device.

2. Open the Multicom application and you have to set the following configuration to the Port A and Port B

![Port A](https://www.evernote.com/shard/s139/sh/a78c9f5c-5eed-4f6d-bc87-83f507e2a895/55ab6552146d01613bc2a88b727dee4f/res/4d79cbe5-3503-45bc-83e8-c2b9c59828e3/skitch.png?resizeSmall&width=832 "Port A")

![Port B](https://www.evernote.com/shard/s139/sh/d1803c7c-5e89-4f96-ae91-b333da17b463/74c93f5ade7d7cdff267e56a8872969f/res/cfb1179b-3658-4539-a362-30d0dbd0ead7/skitch.png?resizeSmall&width=832 "Port B")

**NOTE** Port B information is very important to make sure that the listen port is the same one that you are using in your ruby program, you could change this to fit your needs.
