RedBot and Ubuntu Linux

Is it possible to get RedBot working with Ubuntu Linux? The instructions only mention Windows and Mac.

There is Arduino for Linux arduino-ide_2.2.1_Linux_64bit . So far no success in uploading.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

In general the linux steps are nearly identical to the mac ones (just using different package installers) https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ex … basic-test

Is the device detected? run “ls /dev/ttyUSB*” to see if it’s appearing to the linux OS

Happy Days! Problem has gone away. Entirely my fault. Forgot to switch on RedBot. Now uploads.

Thank you for confirmation that Linux and RedBot are good together.

Sorry for trouble.

I would try it if it could be achieved

The last poster confirmed it worked for them fine (after they powered the redbot!)
