Linux USB Drivers for Actisense Devices

Linux USB Drivers

In fact as of Linux Kernel v4.0, our devices will be supported without any work being required by the user at all.  If your Linux Kernel is older we currently have three methods that various customers have used successfully: two simple methods (detailed by two customers) and one official method (detailed by FTDI, manufacturer of the USB chip we use in our products) that is more involved and should probably be left as a last resort.
