live pod crashing about poolviewer HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, yes the usb code needs a lot more error checking built in at the moment it assumes everything works. :)
Sounds like you just need to sort out your usb permissions, add:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403" ATTRS{idProduct}=="8b30" MODE:="0666"
to your udev rules file, and see if it works then.

In the meantime I'll get the error conditions saner than crashing.

Ignore that, remembered while out cycling it's just a serial device you need to permission.
probably just a case of adding your userid into the dialout group.

when you've modprobe'd the ftdio device, done the echo into ftdio_sio, check dmesg to see which device the driver has created e.g.:
FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

then check the group for that device: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Oct 18 17:55 /dev/ttyUSB0

then make sure your userid is in that group.

Helpful error messages should now be displayed instead of crashing.

thanks for the reply this seems to be resolved
