I’m trying to connect my KX3/PX3 rig to a Linux computer to use the Utility programs. I’m have tried to connect to two different computers running both Mint 17 and Ubuntu 14.04 with no luck so far.
From what I can tell, these Linux distros should both natively support FTDI chips for VCP connections. The FTDI site confirms this and only provides instructions for replacing the VCP driver with a D2XX driver. I can see the FTDI device using “lsusb” when plug the KXUSB in. However, the KXUSB apparently can’t connect to /dev/ttyusb0 to let me use the KX3 or PX3 Utilities. When i unplug the KXUSB from the USB port on either Linux box and plug it into my Mac, all is well. It even works when I reboot the same PC to WIN7 instead of Ubuntu. What am I missing? Thanks, Lyn - KC8I ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
