Status: no device connected

I’ve had a blink1 (I believe mk2) for several years but never actually used it. I started having time to tinker with things again and installed Blink1Control2 for linux (on Ubuntu 18.0.4). When I open the app it says “Status: no device connected”. I’ve looked in developer tools and get the following message.

Uncaught Error: cannot open device with path /dev/hidraw6 at new HID (/opt/Blink1Control2/…e-hid/nodehid.js:49) at new o (bundle.js:188) at bundle.js:21 at Array.map (<anonymous>) at _setupFoundDevices (bundle.js:21)

Any information you could give me to figure this out, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

That’s very strange. The error you originally quote looks a lot like a udev permissions issue. Perhaps the rules I have on the Linux section of the README are incorrect?

Could you double check the /etc/udev/rules.d/51blink1.rules file to make sure it’s exactly the same? After that, try removing everything so the file just contains:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="27b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01ed", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"

and do:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules"

@todbot Thank you so much! I must apologize, I didn’t realize I hadn’t actually saved the rules and 51blink1.rules was empty.
