MiniPOV 2 Programming Question

Post by [email protected] »

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 Linux and when I try to program it I get the error:

Code: Select all

avrdude: can't open device "dev/lp0": No such file or directory
avrdude: failed to open parallel port "dev/lp0"
I think the problem is I do not have the right port directory. I have also tried /dev/ttyP0 but I get the same thing. I know its programmable because I programmed it no problem on my windows computer. Any help would be great.

Thanks
