How to connect my azure ubuntu vm to my local machine accessories and wi-fi?

Question

Hi guys,
I installed Arduino on my virtual machine ubuntu 20.04 LTS, I used xrdp so that I can connect via rdp.

I want to setup my hardware on my virtual machine, but the virtual machine can't read my ports, USB connection and my local wi-fi.

Is there a way to do that kind of scenario?

Hello @John Patrick Papares,

Welcome to the MS Q&A forum.

Would you be able to share the tutorial what you use to set up Arduino on Azure VM?

From what I know, by default, virtual machines might not have direct access to USB ports on the host machine, as well VMs don't have direct access to the host machine's Wi-Fi hardware.

If you need to use hardware directly with VMs, some virtualization platforms offer dedicated solutions for hardware emulation or passthrough. VMware, for example, provides VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion with more advanced hardware interaction features.

Sincerely,

Olga
