Hi,
Just to add to the comments.
I have a bunch of radio type devices I plug into LL, that all work.
You can check if it is recognised by LL
Before plugging in the device, open a terminal(crtl+T), and type:
You should get something like:
Code:
dave@hp-lappy1:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0eef:a107 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0781:5571 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer Fit
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:571a Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Now plug in the device, and do the lsusb command again
This is with one of my Radio devices plugged in:
Code:
dave@hp-lappy1:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0eef:a107 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0781:5571 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer Fit
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:571a Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 002 Device 014: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
You can see a new device FT232. The most common devices are FTDI & Prolific
One final thing, I did have an initial issue.
The way some USB devices communicate need you to be added to a certain "Group"
To avoid any possible issues, I suggest you do that before plugging in the device.
Do the following command in a terminal. You only need to do it once, you can do this now.
Code:
sudo usermod -aG dialout username
Just replace username with your LL username.
