Right thanks much, I solved it.
Now after lunching it I get this:
The current user does not have the correct permissions to access serial devices. Use “sudo adduser dialout” and then log out and in again
How I could fix this? Not sure if I would need to have an autopilot plugged to figure it out?
thanks much
Type at the command prompt:
whoami
For example:
dave@dave-AO722:~$ whoami
dave
Then for example, type:
sudo adduser dave dialout
Substitute your username instead of dave.
