Getting Arduino to work on USB
« on: February 20, 2014, 11:37:30 PM »
Greetings All,

I am trying to get tinycore to recognize and "mount" my Arduino.

What I am trying to do:
Connect an arduino via USB to receive commands and provide data via pyserial.

What I have done so far:
I have read the other forums and followed what was said, but no dice.
dmesg tells me this:
usb 2-2: USB disconnect, device number 2
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd

when dmesg should be telling me something like this:
usb 1-5.4.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 20
usb 1-5.4.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
ftdi_sio 1-5.4.1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
usb 1-5.4.1: Detected FT232RL
usb 1-5.4.1: Number of endpoints 2
usb 1-5.4.1: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 64
usb 1-5.4.1: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 64
usb 1-5.4.1: Setting MaxPacketSize 64
usb 1-5.4.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

What I have installed so far:
pyserial-2.7
libusb
libftdi
usb-utils
usb-serial-3.0.3-tinycore

Currrent tinycore distro is 4.7.7

Hi Project23D
usb-serial-3.0.3-tinycore  is wrong. You are running kernel version  3.0.21  so that would be  usb-serial-3.0.21-tinycore

Awesome. Thanks.

So far, that part works, now to fight with the next step.
