      @Shinji0912 u have to have code running in the Arduino sending the data, doesn’t just happen

        @sdetweil I know I’ve set it up but it didn’t worked.

          @Shinji0912 seems pretty simple, connect serial port for arduino to serial port for PI…

          arduino send 10
          https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/communication/serial/write/
          pi read 10
          https://www.npmjs.com/package/serialport

          u can test that without MagicMirror

              @sdetweil Thats my Current Arduino code :

              volatile int32_t m_counter = 0;
              bool WasStarted = false;
              
              static const char *pcDHT11Prefix = "[sensor:DHT11:";
              static const char *pcPostfix = "]";
              
              void setup() {
                Serial.begin(9600);
                while(!Serial);
                
                Serial.println("[status:setup:starting]");
                Serial.println("[sensor:DHT11:11]");
                
                int test = 1;
                m_counter = test;
              
                if(test > 1) {
                  WasStarted = false;
                  Serial.println("[status:setup:failed]");
                  return;
                }
                
                delay(3000);
                WasStarted = true;
                Serial.println("[status:setup:started]");
                delay(100);
              }
              
              void loop() {
                Serial.print(m_counter + 11);
                Serial.println(pcPostfix);
              
                if(m_counter % 3 == 0) {
                  delay(1000);
                  Serial.print(pcDHT11Prefix);
                  Serial.print(m_counter + 11);
                  Serial.println(pcPostfix);
                  delay(2000);
                }
                if(m_counter >= 60) m_counter = 0;
                m_counter++;
              
                delay(1000);
                
                }
              

              and i got the ArduPorts running on the MM itself

              now it is running but always searching for the module … see Picture.

                @Shinji0912 and the config for the port ??

                              config: {
                                portname: "/dev/ttyUSB0",
                

                ls /dev | grep -i usb

                I don’t see a ttyUSB0 on my pi4…
                is that the right one on pi?

                i would guess that is for a USB plugin serial port, not direct serial port…

                I do have a /dev/serial1 (on all 3 of my pi devices, Pi0, Pi3, and Pi4)

                  I have it plugged in on my Raspberyy Pi3 and the config on the Pi itself is

                  	modules: [

                                      },

                    I think that is the wrong device name for the serial port on the pi. if you are using the gpio header pins

                    Ich denke, das ist der falsche Gerätename für die serielle Schnittstelle auf dem Pi. wenn Sie die GPIO-Header-Pins verwenden

                        @Shinji0912 i have never seen arduino connected via USB… none of my arduino devices have USB plugs

                        did u check the available device names on your pi?
                        from a terminal window do

                        ls /dev | grep -i usb
