Linux Bounce - Serial port communications issue

[dannystaple]

Upon attempts to use the Bounce Linux package - a serial port was not detected.

Now tested and verified working. It needed the same rebuild as windows. Need to try a downloaded package from CI (it works with npm source).

Grabbed the latest version from here for Linux - but the issue above is still exists. Bounce doesn't realize the serial port. Source: https://github.com/orionrobots/Bounce/releases Version: 1.4.15

Can you attempt on the most recent Linux version? Also - if it fails, would it be possible to show me where the port actually is (lsusb, or /dev/tty...)? There is also debug available - Help->Toggle Developer Tools->Console, which should reveal how it is failing.

Thanks

I'm using Linux Mint 17.2 (at home - later I'll check on my working laptop, that runs Mint 18.1). The board has the Lua firmware:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1
...
> print(_VERSION)
Lua 5.1
> print("hello world");
hello world

In the console there are some errors:

Uncaught Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 50, got 48. bindings.js:88
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play() request was interrupted by a call to pause(). bounce_window.html:1

Thanks for your help!

Can you try the most recent image? I've uploaded a new one with the rebuild so the version matches. Also worth noting (I'm yet to add it to help somewhere) is that your user will probably need to be in the dialup group to have serial port access permission

[airween]

Thanks - I'll check it soon. Of course, I'm member of dialup group - otherwise I couldn't access these devices. But as you can see, I can use it through minicom, and can upload the firmware (with my regular user).

Thanks, a.

I'm sorry, I can't find the binary .zip for Linux here: https://github.com/orionrobots/Bounce/releases The last version pushed 4 days ago - I think I have that.

[dannystaple]

There should definitely be a working binary zip in the most recent version.

[airween]

Could you upload a binary package for Linux too?

[dannystaple]

The .appimage file is a binary for linux. I should mention in the instructions.

Hi Danny, many thanks for your help - it works as well.

Regards, a.
