Permissions: betaflight-configurator needs /dev/tty* USB devices

[vini.nu]

I installed package:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/betaflight-configurator

But to connect to devices, I need to run $ sudo betaflight-configurator. How do I configure it to access USB devices without sudoing ?

I only need this access for this program. Strange that AUR package doesn’t come pre-configured for this…

Looks like you would need to add your $USER to dialout group to have access to serial interface:

sudo -aG dialout $USER

Reboot.

[vini.nu]

[v1n1@ttt ~]$ sudo usermod -aG dialout ${USER}
[sudo] password for v1n1:
usermod: group 'dialout' does not exist

[v1n1@ttt ~]$ ls -la /dev | grep ttyACM0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root uucp   166,     0 2024-07-23 17:40 ttyACM0

@vini.nu

usermod: group 'dialout' does not exist

Try:

sudo groupadd dialout

Then:

sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER

Reboot.
