I own an several Elegoo Nanos and a Raspberry Pi. I would like to connect an Elegoo Nano to the Pi and upload nanpy onto the board and control it's GPIO pins.

I have plugged the nano into the Pi and it is not recognised by the pi. I believe it is something to do with the drivers required for the nano to work. I feel this is similar to this post Arduino Nano not visible in Serial Ports (Mac OS) as I have tried and failed at connecting it to my Mac.

Any help at getting the Elegoo Nano read by the Arduino IDE on my Raspberry Pi so I can program onto it would be greatly appreciated.

The Elegoo website has a downloads page which contains the drivers.

  1. Using the Raspberry Pi, download the zip file containing the drivers.
  2. Unzip the contents to a location of your choice. (Also see here)
  3. Change to the directory containing the Linux driver source files (ie CH341SER_LINUX).
  4. In the terminal type make. Let it compile the driver.
  5. In the terminal type make load.

Done
