Troubleshooting

I see the Thymio II in the target selection window of Aseba Studio, but connect always fails

Maybe you are not in the dialout group, which is necessary to allow you to access serial devices such as Thymio II.(On Arch Linux it's uucp instead of dialout.) To add yourself to this group, use:

sudo adduser $USER dialout

or:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
newgrp dialout

depending on your distribution.
