Hi Amoghcharan,
As per my understanding of the question, you want to connect a joystick to a port and use it with MATLAB, but MATLAB can’t discover this in the script.
The lines executed by you is exactly what I would have done, but you can check for the following steps in addition to what you’ve done:
- Make sure the output after running “dmesg | grep tty” on the host after connecting the USB device is your device name.
- Check for docker permissions to access serial ports.
- By this I mean that check the group to which the serial ports are added, has all the permissions. These usually belong to the “dialout” group. For more information on how to do this, refer this link : https://askubuntu.com/questions/133235/how-do-i-allow-non-root-access-to-ttyusb0
Alternatively, you can try to elevate the permissions while running the docker itself. The following command might help:
docker run --privileged --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 -v /dev:/dev my_matlab_image
Hope this helps!
Regards
Akshat
