Chromebook support

Post by MBpicoaccount »

Hello,

Is there Chromebook support planned for pico logger software and drivers?

If not, is there a workaround possible?

Many Thanks,

Mike

We have no plans to support Chromebook at the present time.

You could email support@picotech.com to see if there any possible workarounds although the stumbling block is likely to be the drivers.

Running PicoScope 6 for Linux on ChromeOS with Crostini (Linux) seems to work fine. The UI looks a bit off on a high DPI screen but probably ok.

I've got the Picoscope 6 running in linux on a chromebook. My question is whether a 2 channel Pico will be recognized over USB. I have a Owon 2 channel and sure the java gui software works fine, but when I connect the scope to USB, chromebook doesn't see it. If I plug certain microcontroller boards to USB, chromebook sees them and prompts to connect the device to linux. I checked the kernel support with dmesg and the USB chips on those microcontroller boards that succesfully connect over USB are explicitly supported. I have no idea which USB chip is on the Pico, but for it to work on chromebook it must be supported.

The question remains, does a 2 channel Pico have a chromebook supported USB chipset?
