I need to install the CH340 usb driver on this page; it attaches to the Arduino machine.
The instructions were given for Windows and I am using Ubuntu Linux. The help page says the CH341 driver should already be installed.
Drivers are almost certainly built into your Linux kernel already and it will probably just work as soon as you plug it in. If not you can download the Linux CH340 Driver (but I’d recommend just upgrading your Linux install so that you get the “built in” one).
lsusb doesn't mention anything:
$ lsusb

Then lsmod | grep ch34 returns nothing. So I'm guessing it's not installed?
