[sudo-discuss] help this guy with his quantum fountain art project

[Cere Misc]

Leo,

Based on the information in the email, it's not clear to me whether your
com endpoint is running Arduino or Linux but, have you looked at this
thread?
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=182639.0

Looks like the default usb serial drivers on XP might not be so good.  No
surprise there…
