Re: [orca-list] Trouble getting Braille from Orbit XX and Ubuntu 17.10

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

Although I do not use braille myself, I have worked with some one with an 
orbit 20 and can confirm that it works in its own mode with the latest 
version of brltty.
You should not need to do anything special to get it working through USB.
