Teensy++2.0_user
Member
Hello Paul,
hello users,
coming from a live on Windows OSs, i now started to make my fights with Linux, UbuntuStudio, latest version with all recommended updates installed.
I have to say that i could not have been more stupid changing to Linux. This is what i feel at the moment.
Additionally, i want to get my Teensy++2.0 running because I'd love to see my LED panel doing its blinky games.
However, I am feeling to finally sell all the stuff i already bought because i dont get any idea of what to do, where to do, and how to do. To make it short: I feel to lose patienece and I already want to get aggressive against objects.
Why all this?
At first, I am not smart enough to find a simple "how to" that tells me all the steps needed to get anything run.
Even Pauls website obviously seems to aim on people with a degree in computer science.
I have an Arduino 2009 and i was able to "install" the IDE on my Ubuntu just by copying the files into /usr/share/Arduino. So far - so good.
Now i thought it would be the same with Teensyduino and tried to place the folders content into the Arduino folder.
WRONG! Doesnt work! Because i "do not own the rights to do so", my Ubuntu says.
But, mentioned already, about minutes before i placed the Arduino folder just right there.
Secondly, the Teensyduino software comes with an ending saying ".64bit".
Actually i cannot find a way to get my computer handling this piece of software as intended.
While i double click on it, Ubuntu teaches me that the "file format is not supported". Nothing less, nothing more.
Here I stand, not knowing more than before.
Then i tried to move the folder, which also is wrong. There must be a certain way to use Teensyduino on Linux. I am sure there is.
Then there is the "udev rules" thing.
As I understand i have to place it in "/etc/udev/rules.d/49-teensy.rules". So i tried to.
But again i wasnt allowed to do so. Even if i already managed to create another user account with admin rights I am not able to get it done right.
I wonder why i cant find, and even Pauls website doesnt have a real "step by step tutorial" which enables people just like me to find a way to use the software, to use the Teensy++2.0 board right away.
I do understand that there are several different Linux distributions out there and that there might be differences in "how to", but all I expeirience is that I would have to follow thousnds of links to get all informations needed collected.
A very bad way for me as a person that get distracted from things very easy due to certain things that do not belong in here.
What I want to do if everything runs is this:
I create electronic musical events and I want to display them on my LED board. Nothing special in 2013, i guess.
Many people out there are doing this in their free time.
Finally I want to ask the community for help. I only have just a couple of month left to get it done before I want to present my results on a public festival.
Is there anyone who feels like mercy with me?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe its a good idea to mention that english is a foreign language to me and that I do not intend to offend anybody.
Said just in case.
