software data logger not seen under WINE

Post by hhead »

This seems to be the right board to post carrying on with the problem but please redirect me if not.

I want to buy a temperature datalogger,

So I rang the company concerned helpline and they said yes it'll be fine the configuration file is a txt file on the USB device and although it comes with software you won't need it. I bought it and got it today. Not true of course.

Installed WINE and installed the software off their CD. Installs and runs fine using WINE 5 windows 7. Used default prefix /.wine

The problem is the device is still not recognized by the software provided which as I say runs fine.

Tried

dmesg -w

and this appeared

[ 3562.109419] usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd
[ 3562.261761] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea61, bcdDevice= 1.00
[ 3562.261767] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[ 3562.263338] cp210x 1-2:1.0: querying part number failed
[ 3562.263624] cp210x ttyUSB0: failed get req 0x4 size 2 status: -32
[ 3562.263639] cp210x: probe of ttyUSB0 failed with error -32
so linux mint does see it.

Tried this

sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 $/.wine/dosdevices/com1
but the link wouldn't create.

How do I get WINE to see the USB device which is all it needs surely? Don't have a copy of windows. Thanks for your help everyone.

Run winecfg and go to the Drives tab, try adding your USB drive there.

I am not sure... I guess you could use D: or something like that, and then tell that WIndows software to use D:. I don't have the software you speak of, and I'm not an advanced Wine user, so this is all guesswork. In the past I had installed some games which appeared as D: or E: in the Wine configuration.

Thanks. I tried F but the problem is the software itself doesn't allow you choose the drive.

Set up a symbolic link

so ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/

Oct 5 22:12 com1 -> /dev/ttyUSB0
followed this guide

https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_G ... llel_Ports

but I still get the same errors
