8.2.2 Drivers installation
If you are using either Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS it is necessary to download and install the
communication drivers from
the
Linux Ubuntu
However, if you have never set it up, you probably need to add your linux user to the
dialout
group to
grant right access to the serial port resources. To do so, just open a terminal and execute the following
command:
sudo gpasswd -a <user_name> dialout
where you need to replace the
<user_name>
with your current linux username.
Microsoft Windows
Install the driver for your operating system version to allow the serial port access through something like
`COM7`
.
LINUX FRIENDLY:
You do not need additional drivers if you are running on any Linux distribution.
NOTE:
Don't forget to logout or reboot.
