<div>You can hack the Chromebook to run Linux, either by setting it up to dual boot (run Chrome OS or Linux) or by completely overwriting the factory OS and going full Linux. Here's one of the tutorials that I used when I was using a Chromebook last year: <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-install-linux-on-your-chromebook">https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-install-linux-on-your-chromebook</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>If at all possible, I recommend finding an inexpensive, used laptop and using Windows or some variant of Linux because it is a bit easier, but it can be done with a Chromebook. <br></div>

I am tempted to second this. I know chrome has an "expert" feature that can be enabled where you can then run normal Linux programs (like gimp etc) but the file system was severely limited last time I used it about a year ago so I wouldn't expect any /dev/ttyUSB*
devices to be available inside the sandbox.<br>

It will definitely take some poking around by someone with a Chromebook laying around (which I do not anymore)<br>
