hi all,
btw. stupid newbie question: how can i access /dev/tty without starting pd as root?
use the permission system to aquire permissions ;-)
this is: make sure that there is a group that can access the device (either read/writeable or just readable) make sure that your user belongs to this group.
like: % chgrp <ttygroup> /dev/rfcomm1 % chmod g+rw /dev/tty % adduser <username> <ttygroup>
(you will have to do this as root; and you will have to re-login as user <username>, in order to make the new group membership have an effect)
the less sophisticated way is to give everybody the needed rights to access the device. but i don't recommend this (for security reasons)
