			<description>&#60;p&#62;joyzhou - &#60;em&#62;&#34;(1) The menu item &#34;Tools-&#38;gt;Serial Port&#34; is gray.&#34;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A Maple may be either one of two different USB devices. When it is running a normal user program, it is a USB serial device. When the bootloader is running it is a USB DFU device and will not show up as a Serial port because it isn't one; it's a USB DFU device.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#34;(2) When I run the IDE as root, it's OK. I tried all Serial ports, including ttyACM0, with serial monitor, none of them works.&#34;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
As explained above, the Maple might not be a USB Serial device, so you might never see it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There are threads explaining part of the problem around accessing Maple and how to set the device access (search for udev):&#60;br /&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi, Guys.&#60;br /&#62;
I tried maple under win7-32bit, but failed.&#60;br /&#62;
So I turned to Linux Mint 14 MATE 32-bit.&#60;br /&#62;
I followed this page&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple-ide-install.html#maple-ide-install-linux&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple-ide-install.html#maple-ide-install-linux&#60;/a&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
and got the IDE to work.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I can compile a sketch and upload to the Maple Mini.&#60;br /&#62;
(Push the reset button on maple board while uploading seems a little inconvenient)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Problems:&#60;br /&#62;
(1) The menu item &#34;Tools-&#38;gt;Serial Port&#34; is gray.&#60;br /&#62;
(2) When I run the IDE as root, it's OK. I tried all Serial ports, including ttyACM0, with serial monitor, none of them works.&#60;br /&#62;
(3) I am already a member of the &#34;dialout&#34; group.&#60;br /&#62;
(4) I am also already a member of the &#34;plugdev&#34; group.&#60;br /&#62;
Could anyone point out why?&#60;br /&#62;
Thanks a lot!
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
