[title] Connect to Duet - Linux
|
[* blackicon_caution] This step is for '''Linux''' users only! See Step 2 to check the Duet is connected and the Serial Port name. Windows and Mac OS users skip this step. [* blackblue] Most likely, the first thing you will need to do on a Linux installation is to add the user to the 'dialout' group, to allow permission to connect to the Duet. Do this by opening a Terminal window and sending '''sudo adduser [your_username] dialout'''. Following this, you will need to log out and back in, or possibly restart, to enable this. [* black] Next, check that the Duet is showing up as connected. Open a Terminal window and send '''lsusb''', which should show an entry for the Duet, then '''ls /dev/tty*''', which amongst the list should show an entry ending 'ACM[number]'. This is the port the Duet is using. [* blackblue] There are many options to connect using Linux. Our favourite is to use CuteCom, which is a GUI serial terminal. It's available in most package repositories, or install with '''sudo apt install cutecom'''. It should automatically detect the correct port (usually /dev/ttyACM0), and is configured correctly out of the box. Click 'Open' to connect. [* blackblue] Alternatively, you can use a text-based serial terminal application such as Minicom. Install with '''sudo apt install minicom'''minicom''', and run from a Terminal window with '''minicom -s''', which starts it in setup mode.
