try adding a udev rule with the following lines in it:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="*0bb4*", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="*0bb4*", MODE="0666"
of course change the 0bb4 with the vendor ID of your device. You will also
need to restart the udev service (or reboot) to get the new rules to take
effect.
You can look at the existing rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ Just create a new
one with a name like "footpedal.rules" and match the permissions of the
other files.
