Re: New Linux Drivers
Hi Martyn
I tried installing the previous version of the drivers on my Ubuntu 10.04 for my pico 2203.
Didn't have success. Please provide a howto on the usage.
Even in Windows if i try to connect 10 times, i succeed only once. I am quite disappointed as i had such great hopes with pico

Re: New Linux Drivers
These drivers are for the USB DrDaq not the PicoScope 2203

Hi srinath_umd,
to get the drivers for the 2xxx series some more actions are needed. The package supplied by picotech is for Fedora I think.
First you need to transform the rpm to dpkg:
* You need to install a package called alien:
sudo apt-get install alien
* You need to transform the rpm package supplied by picotech:
alien -i package-name.rpm
i.e.: alien -i libps2_3000-3.6.4.4-1.i386.rpm for i386 architecture
* You need to install the created deb package:
sudo dpkg -i package-name.deb
* Create a group pico:
sudo addgroup --system pico
* Add your user to the group:
useradd -G pico
* You probably need to logout/login to update user/group stuff
Picotech provided a udev rules file that gives options, how the system shall behave, when a pico usb device is connected. I tried it, but it doesnt work on my ubuntu machine. Therefore I changed it a little:
old: SYSFS{idVendor}=="0ce9", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0ce9", MODE="664",GROUP="pico"
new: ATTRS{idVendor}=="0ce9", MODE="664", GROUP="pico", OWNER="root"
* You need to copy the modified file to /etc/udev/rules.d
* You need to change the rights of the copied file:
sudo chmod 644 95-pico.rules
* After that check your work with the provided usbtest
* Compile the example
(did not work): gcc -lps3000 PS3000con.c
(worked): gcc PS3000con.c -lps3000
Good luck.
I tried the driver with the ps3204 on an (K)Ubuntu 12.04 x64 machine.

Dave
