SOLUTION FOUND AND NOW CORRECTED!!!! 1) Download the Arduino IDE for linux from 1. This one: https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz 2. Not this one: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/releases/download/1.8.19/arduino-1.8.19.tar.xz 2) Install it on the chromebook per the video at: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cve6n4LZqI" 3) Plug the Bittle USB adapter into the robot and the chromebook. 4) Set the chromebook linux VM to recognize the USB port Setings => Advanced => Developers => Linux development environment => Manage USB devices => USB Serial (turn on) NOTE: Step 4) must be repeated every time USB connection is reconnected/powered on

Yes, the USB adapter does work for now; however, it exposes the circuit board so there's a risk of damage from shorting something, or banging something. I'm hoping to mount the bluetooth adapter permenently under the protective cover, so my grandkid can play with various sketches without exposing the NyBoard. Please let me know when the Petoi software is ported to the Chromebook. Thanks, Hasan

I bought the Bittle robot for my 10-year old grandson so the chromebook is for him, for now. My browsing indicates that chromebooks have had issues with bluetooth. The Bittle comes with a bluetooth adapter which works with the OpenCat.ino sketch under Windows on a PC, but not with linux VM on the chromebook. However, other bluetooth devices work with the chromebook, so I suspect the Petoi software. I hope I'm wrong and that there is a fix or work around.

Per the video at: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cve6n4LZqI" I installed this version, arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz, on the chromebook. Now the Arduino IDE is available and recognizes the Uno board; however, the USB serial port is not yet recognized. Like

The zip file was the wrong package, I'm about to install using the tar package for 1.8.19

Yes, in a Windows laptop. I'm looking for a way to run Arduino Desktop on a chromebook. Apparently, it was possible at on time, per this video: Arduino IDE on Chromebook,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cve6n4LZqI

I downloaded and unzipped: https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-ide/nightly/arduino-ide_nightly-latest_Linux_64bit.zip When I ran the ide I got this error: hasanmuhamma@penguin:~/Arduino/arduino-ide_nightly-20220704_Linux_64bit$ ./arduino-ide ./arduino-ide: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thank you. Will either of these beta 2.0 versions work on a Chromebook? https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-ide/nightly/arduino-ide_nightly-latest_Linux_64bit.AppImage ...or... https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-ide/nightly/arduino-ide_nightly-latest_Linux_64bit.zip
