Has anyone recently got a TC08 running on a Raspberry Pi ?
I worked my way through the instructions for installing the software / drivers but when I run the usbtest script I hit enter for the first 2 prompts and then it disappears .
The TC08 doesn't seem to be present on the usb and the LED doesn't come on.
Has anyone seen the same problem ? And if so how did you fix it ?
Thanks for your help

Hi Peter,
What does the lsusb command show if you call it with the USB TC-08 connected?
These are the recommended steps when installing the drivers and building the example application:

These are the recommended steps when installing the drivers and building the example application:
- Open a web browser and go to https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux
- Open a terminal window
- Follow steps 1 to 3 under Debian / Ubuntu / Mint (apt-get) to configure the package manager
- Install the required driver i.e. libusbtc08
- Obtain the files for the usbtc08 example from our GitHub repository
- Copy the usbtc08Con/usbtc08con.c file into the linux-build-files sub-directory in the usbtc08 directory.
- Make the autogen.sh file executable using the command prompt
Code: Select all
chmod +x autogen.sh
- Install the libtool package
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libtool
- Press Y to continue when prompted
- Install the autoconf package
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install autoconf
- Press Y to continue when prompted
- Run the command ./autogen.sh from the folder where the example files are located
- Run the make command
- Connect the USB TC-08 device and call lsusb to check that it has connected
- Run the application

Hi Hitesh,
Thanks for the reply
I've just followed your instructions and I'm still having no success.
When I run usbtc08con it doesn't find my TC08.
However I can see it when I run lsusb .
Any suggestions ?
Peter

Re: TC08 on Raspberry Pi
Have you tried running the usbtest program that we supply in the install ?
It would be useful to see the output from that, lsusb and dmesg
