Re: [orca-list] Braille displays

Title: signature_jp_2

Hi,

In Trisquel 8.0, (it has packages from Ubuntu 16.04), I found that, once I enabled the service called brltty-udev, I got braille from a braillesense once orca was activated in my user session.  I had to install the brltty package, first; Ubuntu may not include it on the default installation. 

In Ubuntu, it's just

sudo apt update

then

sudo apt install brltty

Once installed, do:

sudo systemctl enable brltty

sudo systemctl enable brltty-udev.

You'll get braille on next reboot.

HTH,

Dave

Hi,

The braille connectivit depends mainly on brltty, which contains all the needed drivers. Orca has no role in this stuff.

FOr your specific question, I am afraid it just does not work. I have never been able to make such hardware work on brltty. I think so few users used it and requested for support. You may ask on brltty mailing list if someone could help to code the driver, with you in backend to test the results.

regards

I use Ubuntu 16.04 and Orca 3.20.3. I need to connect a PACMATE 20 braille display and use it in Ubuntu. I turned on braille support and connected my display. Unfortunately, there isn’t any output. What should be done to fix this problem?
