Arduino serial ports

Post by Cweb »

Hi,

I have been trying to get the arduino software (windows version that I'm running with Wine) to recognize my ArduinoUno that is connected and it hasn't been going so well. I'm a beginner in Linux so any help would be appreciated. I'm currently running the latest version of Zorin OS.

I've tried creating a symbolic link from /dev/ttyAMC0 (the arduino serial port) and the com3 port so that the software will recognize it but for some reason that hasn't worked either. Also, for those wondering why I just don't install the linux arduino version, I have plotting software that only runs on Windows that also needs access to the arduino board.

Thanks,
Chris

Cweb so you have other seriel device on com1 and com2 in wine ?? if no please try the lowest com number. Some applications give up at the first non existant port.

ln -s /dev/ttyAMC0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

Also make sure your user has access to that device. None of this promises that it will work but gives you the best chance.
