Interfacing Sick Tim5xx with Myrio USB lidar

[RyanBarnes]

Hi. I'm trying to interface a Sick Tim3Xx and tim5xx via USB to the myrio and I'm having no luck getting it identified as a ttyUSB* or Ttyacm* I see usbdev1.2 in /dev/ And in Mac I see it as a Usb0 raw and it it is "not present" Is there something I have to do to show it as a TTYUSB0 or can I possibly work with usbdev1.2? I'm running 2014 firmware and labveiw

Are you sure your device is a USB Serial device? TTYUSB* is usually reserved for serial devices, and it may explain why your device is not showing as expected.

Additionally, have you installed software on your myRIO? You may be missing necessary drivers for serial communication.

You should also post your question in the myRIO forums next time.

Actually, please avoid duplicate posting.

I've been told its a composite device. 

And I've got the visa software installed. 

I had trouble with the mobile version of the site and it didn't appear to post the first one...  Should I delete this one or the one in the myrio section?

It may be worth reaching out to Sick to see if they have any Linux drivers for your device. It's possible that the myRIO doesn't have the necessary device driver to communicate properly.
