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
Peter

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:
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
Install the libtool package
Press Y to continue when prompted
Install the autoconf package
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
Regards,

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 ?

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
