You need to know what kind of adapter you have (straight-through or cross-over), and you also need to know what kind of cable you have (straight-through or cross-over). You also need to know if both the adapter and cable support all nine serial lines. Note that another term for cross-over is null-modem. >brltty: checking braille device: serial:ttyUSB0 >brltty: checking for braille driver: bn >brltty: initializing braille driver: bn -> serial:ttyUSB0 >brltty: serial device opened: /dev/ttyUSB0: fd=8 >brltty: timeout after 100 milliseconds >brltty: braille driver initialization failed: bn -> serial:ttyUSB0 >brltty: braille driver not found This is what's expected since we know the braille display isn't on ttyUSB0. Whatever is there, which may be nothing at all, didn't respond to the BrailleNote probe, hence the timeout. >brltty: checking braille device: serial:ttyUSB1 >brltty: checking for braille driver: bn >brltty: initializing braille driver: bn -> serial:ttyUSB1 >brltty: cannot open serial device: /dev/ttyUSB1: No such file or directory >brltty: braille driver initialization failed: bn -> serial:ttyUSB1 >brltty: braille driver not found This error, "no such file or directory", means that the path "/dev/ttyUSB1" didn't exist. I take this to mean that the adapter wasn't cconnected at the time. Please make sure it exists and then rerun brltty in the same way to get all the logs. No need to retry ttyUSB0. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
