Works perfectly - both the Arduino comms (ftdi_sio) and EMC2.
Thank you.

Re Kernel update,
Downloaded this onto desktop and then all I had to do was double click
and installer ran automatically.
Now works fine with my Diecimilia board whereas before I could not
download to the chip before, so far so good. I'm not in my workshop so
unable to try emc actually running, bu
Alex Joni has uploaded a new version of the kernel package which
includes the ftdi_sio driver. If you can, please try the new kernel
package by downloading

and installing it
The final piece of the jigsaw, in case anyone has similar problems.
The Arduino IDE wouldn't talk to the Arduino board because
serial.debug_rate in ~/.arduino/preferences.txt was set to 14400, a
value not supported by the port (something to do with the ftdi_sio
driver?).
Setting this value to 960
Sorry, me again.
Update manager has just popped up to offer me one update:
linux-image-2.6.24-16-rtai.
It looks like it wants to reinstall the release kernel in place of my
patch. Any idea why? Do I just have to keep saying No?

Fantastic - it works! Thank you for your help Jeff.
Just for the record then, I've rebuilt and installed the kernel
according to Jeff's recipe and now the Arduino talks happily with EMC2
again.
The Arduino IDE still fails to connect to the Arduino board, but that's
for another day since I can pro

OK, here's what I've found so far.
1. The ftdi_sio driver is included in the generic 8.04 kernel and the
Arduino attaches to port /dev/ttyUSB0 as expected.
1.1. Both GtkTerm and the Python serial library can then communicate
with the Arduino (I programmed it to act like a serial loopback
I don't have any experience with arduino on linux except for the usage
with emc2. But, just to make sure, are you 100% certain that you
choose the correct serial port and the correct arduino board in the

Wow!
Thanks, but before I dive in so deeply, how likely is it that the
problem really is the missing ftdi_sio driver? Was this driver included
in the Ubuntu 6.06 / EMC2 Live CD installation? (I never checked,
because it all just worked)
