56 ##Serial Ports and USB
57 If access to the serial ports or USB (e.g. DMC-4103) is desired through gclib, the following will provide steps to join the correct access group. If using USB, be sure the controller is powered and the usb is plugged in before beginning.
59 ###Determine group with access
61 $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyS*
62 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 64 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS0
63 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 65 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS1
64 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 66 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS2
65 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 4, 67 Mar 3 16:39 /dev/ttyS3
66 crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Mar 6 11:08 /dev/ttyUSB0
68 In the above listing, **dialout** is the group that needs to be joined. **uucp** is another common group that may be listed.
70 ###Add the desired *username* to the group.
72 $ sudo gpasswd -a username dialout
73 [sudo] password for username:
74 Adding user username to group dialout
76 Log out and back in for change to take effect.
79 username wheel dialout
81 gclib can now connect to serial and usb devices from user *username*.
84 If using a Galil PCI controller, the PCI driver must be installed.
86 ###Extract source and build driver
88 $ tar -xf /usr/share/doc/gclib/src/gclib_202_pci.tar.gz
91 ###Copy module and add to kernel
93 $ sudo cp galilpci.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
95 $ sudo modprobe galilpci
97 ###Add galil group for access to PCI
99 $ sudo groupadd -f -K GID_MIN=100 -K GID_MAX=499 galil
100 $ sudo cp 90-galilpci.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
101 $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
102 $ sudo udevadm trigger
103 $ sudo usermod -a -G galil username #exchange "username" with actual user's name
105 Logout and back in. The PCI hardware is now available for access.
108 crw-rw---- 1 root galil 10, 56 Jun 9 11:07 /dev/galilpci0
109 $ echo -e "\x12\x16\r" > /dev/galilpci0
