blink1control2 can't find device #670

Closed simsus closed 1 year ago

simsus commented 1 year ago

Hi everyone

Today I have installed blink1control2 (Debian package) in version 2.2.9 on my Ubuntu 20.04 OS.

After starting the application the status was "no device connected".

I run terminal with the prompt "lsusb | grep "blink"

$ lsusb | grep "blink" Bus 001 Device 011: ID 27b8:01ed ThingM blink(1)

I found some issue threads in this repository but no solution seems to solve my problem. Maybe.

greets

simsus

Hi, If you're on Linux, you'll need to set up udev rules so non-root processes can access blink(1).

This is described here: https://github.com/todbot/Blink1Control2#linux and here: https://github.com/todbot/blink1-tool#linux-including-raspberry-pi
