Common Problems (and their Solutions)

Device connectivity

F: flyhigh refuses to talk to my Flight Device!
A: Usually, you'll connect your Flight Device through /dev/ttyUSB0, so please make sure you have sufficient access permissions to that file. In most Linux distributions you'll need to be member of the dialout group, and your're all set. See your distros' documentation how to check and edit group membership.

Flight analysis

F: I want to display the "Alt vs Time" chart of a Flight, but nothing happens. Please help!
A: This kind of charts are produced through gnuplot. In some distros (Ubuntu, to name just one), gnuplot binaries are split up into a base package named gnuplot and a desktop dependent package. E.g. you'll need to additionally install the package gnuplot-qt if you're a KDE user, or gnuplot-x11 if you're using Unity.
