Hi, I just started using Picaxe, however I'm already having some very critical issues. I started by running a blinking LED test program on my family's main desktop (which is a Mac), and everything worked and uploaded fine in MacAXEpad once I got everything setup and installed. However, when I tried to run the same program on my personal laptop, which runs the most current version of Ubuntu (14.04), LinAXEpad gave me the error: Hardware not found on dev/ttyUSB0. At first I though maybe my battery was dead or maybe the AXE027 serial cable hadn't connected properly, however I checked my battery and it was fine and then I checked and double checked and the AXE027 was in fact connecting as /dev/ttyUSB0. Can somebody please help me with this??? I prefer to be able to upload programs through my laptop since my window to use my family's desktop is very limited.
'Error: Hardware not found on /dev/ttyUSB0' even though cable is connected?

Hmmm...well, if you've confirmed that Linux is recognizing your cable as /dev/ttyUSB0...then I'm not sure what the issue is...if linux is NOT recognizing the cable...then try my steps from post #4 in this thread.
One thing you can try is to program the PICAXE on the Mac ( or any PC which can program the chip ) with a simple test program ...
Do
SerTxd( "Hello" )
Pause 1000
Loop
Then check that the output can be seen by opening the Terminal window of MacAXEpad / PE6 and selecting the appropriate baud rate. Repeat by connecting it and opening Terminal on the Lubuntu system.
