@xykon Oddly enough, I have been a member of the dialout group long before this. This is why it also surprised me.

Either the python script is not getting full privileges or I was not trained at the beginning with pressing the buttons. This needs more testing.

@jmarcelino The ModemManager bug report has been amended for the Pysense & Pytrack; which is all I have.

Can some good soul look up the idVendor and idProduct for the other boards (Expansionboard v1&2 etc.)?
Doing so allows the ModemManager maintainers to be correctly informed.

@xykon Today's new pycom_firmware_update_1.1.4.b1 GUI updater also works flawlessly!

@on4aa
Thanks a lot! That should cover all the current boards - the Expansion board (v1,v2) is based on the super popular FTDI USB-Serial chip - it's not PIC based - so it should have no problem.

I'll make a note to submit new IDs to ModemManager as new products arise.

@jmarcelino Because of the Microchip VID sublicensing, it will be not always clear if Pycom products are being dealt with. For this reason, the ModemManager maintainer has added the Pysense and Pytrack rules to 77-mm-usb-serial-adapters-greylist.rules.

Neither is this bad, because ModemManager will try to make a connection only when run manually. Automatic annoyances will be a thing of the past over a month of 2­—3, when the ModemManager updates will roll into stable GNU/Linux releases.

Comment # 5 on bug 104320 from Aleksander Morgado

I've pushed the 2 blacklisted devices with rules including vid:pid, but I've
also added the whole vid to the "usb adapters greylist", which are only probed
if manually requested to do so, so should help to avoid interference with other
Microchip-vid-tagged devices.

All fine & dandy in the end…
