[orca-list] Cannot use Tieman Voyager braille terminal in Ubuntu

["Michael Jeukendrup" <mi jeukendrup wxs nl>]

Hello users, developpers  from Orca,

 

Dear Herman and John, thankyou for the sugestions and advices.

Itried the commands and the instructions you wrote to me,  but unfortunately I didn's succeed to connect the Tieman Voyager braille terminal to use it toghether with Ubuntu and Orca.

During testing and trying , ifound the key to the solution:

The versions of the Tieman Voyager braille terminals I am using are equipped with an USB controller type VID.

That means that this type of usb-controller is not making automatically contact with the computer when connected to the

ccomputer.

 

ARe there Tieman Voyager braille terminals with another type of usb-controller?

I ask this question because other people can work with a Tieman Voyager in Linux.

 

When Iam using the standard startup from Ubuntu:

1) Brlty is automatically starting up,

2) It is not detecting, connecting my Tieman Voyager even when I am entering USbport 0 and type of brailleterminal vo.

In the file /etc/brltty.conf Ican read that this file was configured correctly.

3) AFter logging in Ubuntu, Orca is starting without braille support.

4) In the text console I can make connection with the Tieman Voyager by typing sudo brltty -b vo -d usb:.

5) When I use the commmand lsusb the Tieman voyager is present in the usb-list.

That means that the Tieman Voyager was detected after the usb-services. has been started, All types of usb-devices can be detected at that moment.

6) After making connection (By hand in the text console )w Istill cannot use Orca in the graphical mode, even when I restartedOrca.

 

I Think to connect comfortably with brltty, I need a braille terminal with a standard serial port or a HID usb-port

My conclusions

The only solutions for my Tieman Voyager braille terminals are:

 

Updating the vid usb-controller  to a HID usb-controller if possible.

Another option is

 

Changing the startup- procedure for brltty and ubuntu and orca. I have to find the best sequence for starting up.

 

During start-up brltty has to be configured exactly with

brltty -b vo -d usb:

Afger this instruction ubuntu and orca can be stated.

 

How can i solve this problem?

Best regards,

Michael
