Connecting from Linux

Hi

I have just assembled a Prusa i3 printer with a GT2560 board. Seems to power up OK.

I connected it to my Linux box via USB; the port was recognised as "Bus 007 Device 003: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC"
I don't believe it's set itself up as a serial port though, and Cura can't find it.

Is there firmware or something I need to install?

Thanks

Thanks you for the response and the information.

I think the lsusb output of "Bus 007 Device 003: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC" indicates it has loaded the relevant kernel module; however, when I interrogate for the serial port (dmesg | grep tty) I get "[ 2.905866] 00:04: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A'; this is clearly the motherboard serial port, not a USB-emulated port.

Hello,Edwin!That is to say, there's nothing wrong with the driver.Or maybe there is a problem with your Cura's port setting,the port setting in the printer setting must be "AUTO".You can have a try.
