I bought an Arduino Uno R3, and am trying to use it with Slackware 14.1.
On my first visit to the "getting started" page, I tried installing:
- avr-binutils
- avr-gcc
- avr-libc
- avrdude
- arduino
avr-gcc does not install, nor did avr-libc. The others seemed to work.
I installed the java sdk (which includes the runtime) and started Arduino 1.0.2.
"Serial Monitor" tells me Serial port 'COM1 ' not found. Did you select the right one from Tools > Serial Port menu?
There is no "Serial Port" option under the tools menu.
I did see something about running stty with ttyUSB0. I believe on my system my device is ttyACM0. The command seems to work, but does not fix the problem. I tried:
echo -n "Hello World" > /dev/ttyACM0
This does not error, but does not appear to do anything.
cat /dev/ttyACM0 writes what looks like garbage to my terminal.
How do I get started? Where do I go from here?
