Comport not found

[RougeHomme]

Hi, I have set up Mint with Arduino and after this Terminal command,
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB0
it is working fine to and from the Arduino.

I have a windows program that uses the comport to communicate with the Arduino via the Serial (comport) and all worked well with windows but now I am using and loving Mint.

I tried using the Terminal command
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 com1
as directed in the help pages here at WineHQ and it processed without error. But, the windows program under Wine cannot see the comport.

Any thoughts on how to fix this and make it permanent through a reboot?

Thanks

If the device is /dev/ttyUSB0, that's what you have to link to the com port.

Thanks but nothing shows up in the comport drop down of the windows program. It has a search routine to gather all known and available comports and in windows it shows them all.

Same when trying to use windows comport software, TeraTerm, CommPort, puTTY etc., no ports shown as available under Wine.
