Hello people!
First of all, i'm pretty new to TCL and i'm not that proficient at linux generally, so please go easy on me.
So first of all, here's my setup:
-Raspberry Pi Zero W (running TCL of course)
-Attached UUGear USB hub, Zero4U
-Arduino Nano v3 (compatible, yes, a chinese ripoff) plugged into the USB hub
What i want to do
-communicate with the Arduino using USB/serial, i have a simple test "firmware" installed on it that waits for a digit from '1' to '9' on the USB/serial connection and blinks the onboard LED accordingly, tested on a windows PC, it works
The problem/question:
Looking around on the net i have found some tutorials to do what i want, but using Raspbian. There they wrote that you should do an 'ls /dev/tty*' without the Arduino connected and then again after connecting it to USB and a new 'tty' device should appear, that's your device, you can write stuff to it. But this does not happen on TCL, i have the same stuff listed under /dev/ with or without the Arduino being connected.
When i do 'lsusb' without and with the Arduino i can see a new line appear, also, 'dmesg' seems to tell me it is there.
I don't know where to from here. How can i get an USB/serial connection to the Arduino? I have found some really old posts that were talking about installing the usb-serial extension but this extension doesn't seem to exist anymore (or maybe it never existed for the rPi version?).
Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks in advance for any answers.
