I'm trying to get devel/arduino working. Plugging in the USB cable to
the Arduino creates /dev/cuaU0* and /dev/ttyU0* and I'm manually
changing them to mode 666 while trying to get started so should be able
to access them as my normal user. However, the Tools => Serial Port menu
item in the Arduino IDE is always greyed out, and whatever I set
serial.port to in ~/.arduino/preferences.txt when trying to upload a
sketch I always get the error message
Serial port '<whatever serial.port is set to>' not found.
Any hints and clues would be very welcome.
My system is 9.1-RELEASE-p1 and amd64
pkg info arduino shows
arduino-1.0.3_1,1 Open-source electronics prototyping platform
My /dev with the Arduino plugged in and a chmod a+rw done suitably:
fileserver# ls -l /dev/{cua,tty}U*
crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp operator 0, 242 Mar 13 21:24 /dev/cuaU0
crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp operator 0, 243 Mar 13 21:24 /dev/cuaU0.init
