   Hi, Guys.
   I tried maple under win7-32bit, but failed.
   So I turned to Linux Mint 14 MATE 32-bit.
   I followed this page
   http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple-ide-install.html#maple-ide-install-linux
   and got the IDE to work.

   I can compile a sketch and upload to the Maple Mini.
   (Push the reset button on maple board while uploading seems a little inconvenient)

   Problems:
   (1) The menu item "Tools->Serial Port" is gray.
   (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.
   (3) I am already a member of the "dialout" group.
   (4) I am also already a member of the "plugdev" group.
   Could anyone point out why?
   Thanks a lot!

   joyzhou - "(1) The menu item "Tools->Serial Port" is gray."

   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.

   "(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."
   As explained above, the Maple might not be a USB Serial device, so you might never see it.

   There are threads explaining part of the problem around accessing Maple and how to set the device access (search for udev):
