Hi Everyone
In short I just bought a (few) 24 desktop computers/screens etc from a auction with OS windows XP 32bit but since they are from a school I have no idea how to get around the passwords and it seems all the computers
where running from a sever so I decided to wipe them and install LINUX LITE and I am very new to this OS but many thanks to whoever invented AXEPAD for linux which saved the day for programming
SO after alot of hours on this forum reading examples how to find the driver I was using I came up with a little plan of my own which seems to work
the reason I installed Linux Lite is because my Win Xp CD seems to expire in 30 days after installed

If I put this in the wrong spot sorry and please move to the right locationMy Notes I made for simple people like me to try to help
How I installed/found OMS U2P cable driver on linux lite OS
Works on my 32 bit older computers
1-First installed LINUX LITE operating system and wiped the hard drive using a USB drive
2-Update all files for linux lite ...(if you need wifi just buy a D-LINK usb wifi and it works out of the box, no need to find drivers etc)
3-Install Axepad from picaxe.com (not as good as PE6 but works awesome)
4-Open Terminal and you will see the following
(your-name)@(computer-name):~$
example --> Mark@Homepc:~$
then type the following in bold
Mark@Homepc:~$ lsusb
And you should see something like this
Bus 001 Device 001: ID Id6b:0020 linux foundation
Bus 001 Device 005: ID Id6b:0020 linux foundation
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Intergrated Products Inc. CP210 …
Bus 001 Device 002: ID Id6b:0020 linux foundation
In above bold is the ID
So make sure it matches with vendor=0x**** product=0x****
Then type the following in bold
Mark@Homepc:~$ sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x10c4 product=0xea60
Then type the following in bold
Mark@Homepc:~$ sudo adduser Mark dialout
So where Mark is placed is the name of the user so
Make sure the user is the same so if the user was
Bill@Homepc:~$
Then you would type in the last bold line would be
Bill@Homepc:~$ sudo adduser Bill dialout
You might have to restart computer and open
Axepad and make sure the right picaxe chip is picked then program and download
And it should work perfectly
the reason I installed Linux Lite is because my Win Xp CD seems to expire in 30 days after installed
