SSSICK/BUOY/Connection/Pop OS

Connecting to your SSSICK/SSSMCK with Pop OS -- one of the worst Linux OS you can possibly choose. I don't know why anyone would ever want to use this OS, but some people do for some unknown reason. It is easily one of the worst modern Linux distros available.

1. In the Bluetooth menu, find your kit and click on it.
   • 
2. It will ask for the pin number. By default this is "1234".
   • 
3. We will need the address for the further steps. Select, right click, "copy".
   • 
4. Open a terminal, type rfcomm connect [port #] [address].
   1. You can use any unassigned port #. Check currently used port numbers by running ls /dev/rfcomm*. Any returned rfcomm devices are in use, you can use any number 1-99 that is not already assigned.
   2. The address you use will be pasted from the previous step.

5. If you do not have properly applied user permissions (see SSSMCK/BUOY/Connection/Troubleshooting/Linux) you may have to run this command as root by using "sudo". The default user account created during Pop OS will likely not have the correct permissions....
   • 
6. Once connected, you will see the kit listed in Buoy with the port number we set in the previous steps.
   • 
7. Click "connect" and it will connect!
