Hi Jesse, My first guess is permissions on the /dev/ttyACMx device. Have you tried running minicom as root or "sudo minicom" If you "ls -l /dev/ttyACM*" have a look at what group the device is created with, I know with ArchLinux it's uucp. You can add yourself to that group. If it's root:root you'll probably need to write a simple udev rule to change the permissions permanently. You'll need to just google there are plenty of tutorials on how to use udev to change the permissions. -- Regards, Stewart Allen [email protected] http://www.stewartallen.org http://www.letstalkgeek.net
