Try 04d9 as the name then.


Tried, but getting the same error, also with using 1203, and yes Vendor number is the same as for my usb keyboard .. probably that causing problem?

The identification string needs to be unique, so if the vendor-ID is the same, you need to use something else.

However, it is quite likely to also be a problem with the udev rules, which has a small mention at the bottom of the page that JT referenced and in a bit more detail here:
www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/man/man1/hal_input.1.html

I created file 51-plugdev.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

Should I paste exactly this line in it, or I need to modify it to my case (device)?

SUBSYSTEM=="input", mode="0660", group="plugdev"

Only if you want to only enable that device...

From the man page:

By default, the input devices may not be accessible to regular users--hal_input requires read-write access, even if the device has no outputs. To change the default permission of a device, add a new file to /etc/udev/rules.d to set the device’s GROUP to "plugdev". You can do this for all input devices with this rule:


SUBSYSTEM=="input", mode="0660", group="plugdev"


You can also make more specific rules for particular devices. For instance, a SpaceBall input device uses the ’spaceball’ kernel module, so a udev entry for it would read:


DRIVER=="spaceball", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"


the next time the device is attached to the system, it will be accessible to the "plugdev" group.

For USB devices, the udev line would refer to the device’s Vendor and Product values, such as


SYSFS{idProduct}=="c00e", SYSFS{idVendor}=="046d", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"


for a particular logictech-brand mouse.

Does thees rules in 51-plugdev.rules file excluding each other, and do I need to run any comp or install after adding it?

I think you just need to reboot so the new rules will be used.

Sorry, didn't get any further with this...

I found also this one, but I don't know if it would be possible to make it work also with emc2:

It really ought to be possible to make it work. I would offer to investigate, but I am about to disappear for several weeks.

Driving the LCD from LinuxCNC would require a new driver. I am sure it could be done, but would require some programming I think.
