HI all,
I'm about to start using Arduino. I want to have my development environment running under Sun's Java on top of Suse 10.2 Linux. I don't yet have Arduino hardware or software in my hands - I'm just planning ahead.
It appears to me that I shall have to tell the kernel about the Arduino USB device by executing, as root:
modprobe -r usbserial
modprobe usbserial vendor=0xhhhh product=0xhhhh
where the hhhh values are those reported in the system log when I connect the Arduino device.
I shall then have to change the device access permissions so that root is not required.
Furthermore, if I want this all to to happen automatically, I shall need to add a udev rule file to /etc/udev/rules.d/... which will sense the connection and execute the above code.
Can anyone say if I'm on the right track, or missing the point completely?
