Hi Rob,

I am going to check my setup as I run an HEQ5 pro with that USB cable you have. Hold on for an update.

I have added the following in my Odroid-C1:

root@heidenrod-obs:/etc/udev/rules.d# pwd && ll 99-EqDir.rules && more 99-EqDir.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 146 Mar 10 2015 99-EqDir.rules
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", ATTRS{product}=="USB-Serial Controller", SYMLINK+="EQDIR"
root@heidenrod-obs:/etc/udev/rules.d#
This is to make sure that I always get the same /dev/ file for my mount.

Once you add this, reboot the machine and plug the usb cable in, you should see in /dev a new file called EQDIR.
Then have EqMod connect to /dev/EQDIR , that should work fine.

try this also:
adduser $USER dialout

with $USER being the user you run the indiserver as.

Yes, I saw that note, but on my Linux distribution (Arch Linux) the dialout group does not exist so I can't add it. The equivalent seems to be the uucp group, which I had already added my user to (and rebooted). Any other ideas?

Cannot think of something else to check apart from the obvious question: Are you sure the cable is working correctly?
Has it ever worked before, I blown mine a while ago, with similar symptons to yours.

@Jean-Luc: thanks, that's just what I was after. Strangely it still doesn't get a reply for me so there must be something up with the way I'm using minicom. Anyhow, since it seems to be working now I'll not worry about this until something else gets in the way.
