PT-104 under Linux

Post by aLondon »

Hello,

I've seen that you provide Linux drivers for the PT-104, but I could not find any software or SDK download.
Could you tell me how I could go about using the PT-104 from a CentOS (5 or 6) machine, preferably through ethernet?

Hi aLondon,

Drivers for USB PT-104 are in the libusbpt104 package. Configure repository as explained here https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux and install it. Then navigate to /opt/picoscope/share/doc/libusbpt104 to find an C example. Note that communicating via ethernet your Linux application will require root privileges.

Is there a way to solve this?

Hi Mario,

Many thanks for the procedure. I managed to set up the repository, however when installing libusbpt104, it failed with the following message:
