I was trying to get the Arduino IDE to work inside a Docker container on OS X. I was able to get the IDE working (see Getting X11 GUI applications to work on OS X with Docker), but I could not figure out how to make the USB port for the Arduino visible.
I first tried to directly map hardware serial port into the Docker container, doing something like this:
| // -------------------------------------- | |
| // i2c_scanner | |
| // | |
| // Version 1 | |
| // This program (or code that looks like it) | |
| // can be found in many places. | |
| // For example on the Arduino.cc forum. | |
| // The original author is not known. | |
| // Version 2, Juni 2012, Using Arduino 1.0.1 | |
| // Adapted to be as simple as possible by Arduino.cc user Krodal |
