i know this has been said before but i just switched to linux and i wanted to keep programming for my arduboy.
whenever i open the toolset app i get spammed in the terminal with
2025-06-07 08:47:39,739 - WARNING - Arduboy scan error: [Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyACM0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyACM0'

For Linux, you probably need to add yourself to a dialout group, or run the program as sudo:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER # (just once)
Let me know if you have any issues!
(edited to make it easier; I'll update the readme sometime)
hello.
ive executed the command and it gives no output and its still not fixed. ive tried changing the user name in the command replacing the spaces with dashes.
also sometimes it gives me the -h menu
Oh hm, you should be able to type the command exactly as is, since $USER will expand to your username. It won't give you any output, you're right. You may have to logout and log back in again for it to take effect, sorry I didn't mention. If you run the command groups (not as sudo) and don't see dialout, you'll need to logout and log back in again. You could also try restarting your computer. Once you see dialout in the groups command, it should work. If not, let me know.
