Troubleshooting
Problems with librxtxSerial.so
Check that the link in the "coordinator" directory is pointing to the correct version. Example for a 32 bits pc:
librxtxSerial.so -> libs-dist/rxtx-2.2pre2-bins/i686-pc-linux-gnu/librxtxSerial.so
Could not find port: /dev/ttyUSB0
Check that you have a file /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 and change the setting in the main of the experiment.
Check that you have permission to read from them, e.g.:
cat /dev/ttyUSB0
should not give a "denied" message
In case you don't, add yourself to the correct group. Also, you can try doing
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
Connect to the right coordinator
Check the pins on the TAM. The diagram can be confusing: the black dot is where the pin should be.
For example, to use coordinator 1, the pins should be like this:
X = = = = X
Where X is the pin and = means empty
