I have installed the reprap host on my Ubuntu 9.04 (i am beta testing it) PC. I am not sure what port my arduino communicates on and am wondering how I would go about finding that out what port I should set the reprap host to communicate with the arduino on. Thanks for any answers!

try
# ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*

in the console. Normally it should be only one /dev/ttyUSB0 unless you have more usb <-> serial devices plugged in.

Now that I have it set to the right port is there anyway to check the communications between the Computer and the Arduino?

Adrian posted a way to make the slots in a stepper motor shaft to us in a extruder....it comes with a small program that allows you to sent a number of steps to the arduino using the built in serial interface.

Sent a number of steps and get a response back.

It worked for me.

I added:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="arduino", MODE="0660"

into my udev rules so it shows up as /dev/arduino winking smiley
