Device Manager
Device Manager allows you to program custom chords to your device.
Access it via this URL using a Chromium based browser (a browser that supports the Serial api).
Once there, click on “Connect” and then choose your CharaChorder device.
<aside>
💡 Note: on Linux based systems you may need to give the browser permissions to the serial port. For example, on Ubuntu you can use sudo adduser $USER dialout or sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER and then restart. Replace $USER with your username.

How to connect Chord Manager to Linux OS.
You must use Chromium (or Chrome) for your browser, but first you must make sure your username is part of the "dialout" group, AND you must log out and log back in for the group change to take effect (and in some cases do a full reboot).
If you’re a Linux user and you’re not able to connect through the browser, please open a terminal and run:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
Where "$USER" is replaced by your username.
Then you must log out of your session and log back in
Then if you use Chrome or Chromium you should be able to connect to your CharaChorder.
