I am attempting to use my 2205A with Manjaro linux. From the AUR I installed "Picoscope 7 Test and Measurement stable"
Ran it with my Picoscope 2205A. In the "Devices" window it shows the detected Picoscope, but it is greyed out and says "Not supported"
I removed Picoscope 7 and tried to install Picoscope 6.14.36_4r5676-1
It would not commit the transaction, it gave these errors:
conflicting files:
- libpicoipp: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/picoscope.conf already exists in filesystem (owned by ps7_libpicoipp)
- libpicoipp: /opt/picoscope/lib/libiomp5.so already exists in filesystem (owned by ps7_libpicoipp)
- libpicoipp: /opt/picoscope/lib/libpicoipp.so already exists in filesystem (owned by ps7_libpicoipp)
I manually deleted those files and tried to comit again. Similar errors with other files. I deleted them and eventually it built Picoscope 6 no problem.
When I ran it, it does not detect my Picoscope. Yel lsusb shows it is connected:
Bus 001 Device 021: ID 0ce9:1007 Pico Technology PicoScope 2000 series PC Oscilloscope
Has anyone successfully installed any flavour of Picoscope on a Manjaro Linux system?
Hi,
Ok I had little look at this, and this what I found- Fist tested by installing Picolog 6 which is a Appimage. This worked and could connect to the scope! Good!
Back to PicoScope 7-
The open Picoscope 7 device box seems to detect my 3206D as a "3000A series"? but fails to connect.
Going to terminal and issuing "lsusb"
Its listed it as-
"Pico Technology.....Westbridge"
Westbridge means the PicoScope's firmware has not been loaded and the USB connection has not been reconnected.
Looking in "opt/picoscope/lib/" This has missing shared library files!
I tried copying the missing files from my Ubuntu box, and fixing the missing symbolic links, but I could get the PicoScope to connect.
I've installed today PicoScope 7 on Arch Linux and it just worked.
picoscope7 7.1.21_1r18179-1
I had to install ps7_libps2000 (3.0.130_3r5654-1) instead of ps7_libps2000a to make it see my PicoScope 2205A .
