I want to use a USB CDC port.
I was under the impression that they were not all that hard to use.
'Tain't going well for me.
lsusb | grep ega
tells me
Bus 007 Device 007: ID 2341:0042 Arduino SA Mega 2560 R3 (CDC ACM)
As root, cat-ing /dev/bus/usb/007/007 gives me garbage.
As anyone else, I get a permission denied error.
Usually, though not lately, a /dev/ttyS? shows up at about
the same time as the .../007/* device.
How, without continuously running as root,
do I get access to CDC usb devices?
I've tried making myself a member of dialout,
but it doesn't seem to take.
I've tried both lgroupmod -M hennebry dialout
oIt doesn't seem to take.and usermod -a -G dialout hennebry .
How do I tell which one I want?
I'm guessing I can't use /dev/bus/... .
How do I tell which /dev/ttyS? I want?
