Arduino Serial Port Driver Ubuntu
If you are the proud owner of an Arduino Uno board but prefer to work in an Ubuntu VM instead of dual-booting, this article is for you. I'll guide you through configuring VirtualBox under your Windows host to get Arduino working properly.

Installing required programs Before we worry about USB ports/serials/whatever, let's just install the stuff we'll need on our Ubuntu guest. Installing Python 2.7 and pip This installation requires Python 2.7 and pip. Read through my.
- I am running Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS, with an Arduino Uno R3 clone. I am having the dreaded serial port graying out problem, and have not found a solution for fixing it.
- Look under the Arduino IDE's 'Serial Port. Tutorial is from Ubuntu 13. Tutorial - A condensed version of our “How to Install FTDI Drivers.
Guide to installing Arduino on Ubuntu Virtualbox Guest under. Path where I extracted arduino drivers. Click the 'Port 1' tab, and then select 'Enable Serial.
Installing the Arduino IDE distribution Assuming the Ubuntu version on your VM is never than Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), simply. $ sudo pip install ino Installing the drivers Follow the instructions on. NOTE: On step 4, 'Install the Drivers', it says Finally, navigate to and select the Uno's driver file, named 'ArduinoUNO.inf', located in the 'Drivers' folder of the Arduino What I had to do was just select the folder C: path where I extracted arduino drivers, I did not select an individual file. Verifying the Windows Installation Verify the Windows installation worked by getting the Blink program to work on your Arduino board.
First, make sure your Arduino board is plugged in. Now Open up the arduino executable on your Windows machine. This will bring up a tiny, blue-green text editor. In the editor, navigate to File ⇒ Examples ⇒ 01.Basics ⇒ Blink. Click the Upload button (to the right of the Check mark), press the reset button on your Arduino board, and see if the LED on your board blinks in a rhythmic fashion.
If everything looks good, it's time to proceed to the next step. Otherwise, it's time to start Googling:( Configuring VirtualBox We now need to help facilitate communication between our Ubuntu VM and our Windows Host. You might be wondering why we don't just attach the USB device from VirtualBoxes Devices ⇒ USB Devices menu. The reason is because the extra USB virtualization introduces enough latency to make uploading fail sporadically on our VM. The solution is to forward serial ports for more direct communication with the host.
Getting the port number First, we need to get the port number associated with our Arduino bored. To do so, we need to open the Device Manager within Windows. We can accomplish this by opening the Start Menu, and typing 'Device Manager' in the 'Search programs and files' box that will probably already have a blinking text cursor in it. Click the top result, which should just read 'Device Manager' Look for the 'Ports (COM & LPT)' section.
Click the + sign to expand it, and you should see 'Arduino Uno (COM#)' where # is some number. In my case, it was 3. This number is very important, so I'll refer to this particular number as # for the upcoming section. Configuring ports in VirtualBox Shutdown your VM if you still have it open.
Don't save the state - completely shut it down. Now navigate to VirtualBox, select the VM you plan on working with, and then click settings.
Select the 'Serial Ports' option on the left hand side. Click the 'Port 1' tab, and then select 'Enable Serial Port'. Regardless of what # from earlier was, the Port Number should be set to COM1. This tells VirtualBox to have the Arduino board mounted at /dev/ttyS0. For the Port Mode, select 'Host Device'.
For 'Port/File Path:', Enter in COM#. The colon needs to be there. That's it for configuring VirtualBox. Start your VM back up, and we'll wrap up this installation with testing and configuring ino. Testing, Using, and Configuring ino A majority of this information is taken straight from the.
Make a directory you would like to store your arduino projects in, and cd to it.

There's a pretty high chance you receive the following error upon your first upload attempt.
