My question is an extension to the one asked here.

The Udev rule seem to be applied properly and i can now distingush my arduinos uniquely from an external script by referring to links files created as /dev/arduino and /dev/arduino2.

The rules in the /etc/udev/rules.d is

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2341", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", ATTRS{serial}=="OMITTED1",  SYMLINK+="arduino1"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2341", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", ATTRS{serial}=="OMITTED2",  SYMLINK+="arduino2"

The issue now is, how can i have those link names display in the arduino IDE. The Arduino IDE still recognises them as /dev/ttyACMx. Assigning random ACMx numbers on each assignment.

I would like the arduino IDE show the devices as /dev/arduino1 etc rather than /dev/ttyACMx. Can this also be handled through a udev file or a unix hack.

I am on Ubuntu 16.04, if that matters.

Thanks.

Here how it works with Arduino IDE 1.0.x:

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/your_port_names_here:/dev/ttyACM0'

Also, you can add this to your ~/.profile for global use.

Port scanning by IDE will be limited to listed ports only, so don't bother to add all your /dev/tty* stuff here!
