[SOLVED] linux question about recognition of stamp
ok guys i've tried to research this for a while now and i've still come up with nothing which works so please any help would be great.
ok here goes... i'm running ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop computer and it's a dual boot with windows (but linux is my main os) so anyways i don't have any serial ports built in with my computer so i got an adapter. the windows version of the stamp program sees it fine and works like a charm but then on linux i've downloaded and installed everything correctly, i've linked the /dev/bstamp with /dev/ttyUSB0 which is correct from what i've read and it compiles fine but when it comes time to run the program on the stamp it says that it can't identify my stamp even thought i know it's physically connected correctly and powered.
please any help is greatly appreciated
cheers

echo operation and use one terminal to read from /dev/ttyUSBn (e.g. using 'cat') and an other one to write to /dev/ttyUSBn (e.g. using 'echo').
Tweak the serial port parameters using 'stty' (this command should be available on most linuxes).

open an other terminal window and enter the command line: echo "hello" >> /dev/ttyUSB0
If on your usb-to-serial coverter RX and TX are connected and the serial port is working, everything output to /dev/ttyUSB0 in the
second terminal is returned and displayed in the first terminal (usually until the end-of-line).
never mind i figured it out followed this tut linuxfreak87.googlepages.com/stamplinux.pdf sorry to waste everybody's time
