#5 Device not detected

[Lorna]

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.
I have installed the owl_cm160_driver and run the python script as per the installation instructions.
when I run ./cm160server I see this:
INFO: CM160Server v 1.10
INFO: sqlite database OK: /home/lj/cm160_data.db
INFO: Starting server: Listening on TCP/IP port 12745
INFO: Please connect the OWL+USB (CM160) device
INFO: Checking for a OWL+USB (CM160) device

Nothing further happens. I have tried disconnecting the USB cable and connecting it again, but it has no effect.
Any suggestions, please?

Hi

Sorry to hear your having problems.

Could you run the 'sudo ./build.sh' command (installing the cp210x driver) and the 'lsmod | grep cp210x' command.

You should get something like

pja@ubuntu:~/Desktop/owl_cm160_driver$ sudo ./build.sh
make -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-23-generic-pae/build M=/home/pja/Desktop/owl_cm160_driver clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-23-generic-pae'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-23-generic-pae'
make -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-23-generic-pae/build M=/home/pja/Desktop/owl_cm160_driver modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-23-generic-pae'

pja@ubuntu:~/Desktop/owl_cm160_driver$ lsmod | grep cp210x
cp210x 17442 0
usbserial 37173 1 cp210x

Also if you run 'dmesg' just after (give it 10 seconds or so) you've physically connected the CM160 device to a USB port you should see something like

[ 2232.843064] usb 2-2.1: new full-speed USB device number 9 using uhci_hcd
[ 2233.135130] cp210x 2-2.1:1.0: cp210x converter detected
