[MrM87]

Hello!

Type this without the device plugged in:

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev > /tmp/dev1.txt

Type this with the device plugged in:

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev > /tmp/dev2.txt

This will show the new device (an Arduino in my case):

Code: Select all

diff /tmp/dev1.txt /tmp/dev2.txt

Ignoring all the system stuff, /dev/ttyACM0 is my new device.
