 |
|
Hi,
I have Arduino's so-called IDE running and serial comms works fine in both directions with the serial monitor feature. The Uno is logging data to the serial port once a second.
Now I need to get this to a text file
I expected to be able to 'cat' or tail the device but cat return immediately with no output and tail sits there looking dumb, waiting for something that never happens.
| Code: |
ls -ail /dev/ttyACM0
30634 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 166, 0 Sep 17 12:46 /dev/ttyACM0
cat /dev/ttyACM0
|
Groups are correct and that device name works fine from the IDE. I exited to IDE too just in case there was conflict.
If I restart the IDE I find the Uno is still there merrily chucking out data.
IDE puts this to console when I start up
| Code: | Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7 |
Am I missing some additional setup commands from bash?
TIA, Gentree.
