Using Pololu's Mini Maestro on Jetson Nano

I have used Pololu’s Maestro servo controllers before on other systems with great success, but I seem to be having difficulty getting it to work on the Jetson Nano. I receive this error whenever I try to open the Pololu Maestro Control Center app and select one of the boards it detects:

I am certain that I have installed all the required programs for the Maestro and incorporated its rules into the correct directory as shown in the Control Center’s ReadMe. What could I be missing?

Hi,
We don’t have much experience about the device. Would need other users to share suggestion. You may check dmesg and console log to see if there’s any error messages.

I have only used it on Windows. But I see that this old documentation says it also support Linux.

Since you have the application up and running on the Jetson Nano. Maybe it is the etc/udev/rules.d/ issue ???

"Copy the file 99-pololu.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ in order to grant permission for all users to use Pololu USB devices. Run

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

to make sure the rules get reloaded. If you already plugged in a Pololu USB device, you should unplug it at this point so the new permissions will get applied later when you plug it back in."
