May 29 - GTKTERM

The following link gives a three step process on how to install gtkterm.
http://pkgs.org/centos-6/epel-i386/gtkterm-0.99.5-11.el6.i686.rpm.html


In the first step, this link is provided:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/

Open the previous link and look for:

epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Click on this link and it will download. Then in the downloads folder, or at the bottom of your web browser, click the file to install it.

Then go to the terminal and type the following:

sudo yum install gtkterm

Directions to use gtkterm are in Sven's blog:

At the beginning of the blog, it talks about permissions. Following these steps can help with that:
To check for the permissions, open a terminal and type:
          cd ..
          cd ..  (to move all the way out)
          cd dev (must be in this directory)
          ls -l ttyAMC0  (checks the permission)
If the permission is not crw-rw-rw, then type:
          sudo chmod 666 ttyACM0




Then we are able to follow the steps in Sven's blog.
