Allow Serial Port​

It's possible that you haven't used any similar serial USB devices like Grid before. You may need to enable serial read/write for USB devices.

The easy way:

sudoedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-myusb.rules

Save this text:

KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*",MODE="0666"

KERNEL=="ttyACM[0-9]*",MODE="0666"

Unplug the device and replug it, and it should be read/write from any user!
