        @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

              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

                            are there any message on the console where u start mm? npm start? or pm2 logs --lines=???

                            ??? is a number, default is 15

                                @Shinji0912 so, I would use the linked examples outside mm to make sure it works

                                      Ok , so now i got the Arduino to communicate with the PI via usb, (i got the right Portname using NodeRed). This is the current Arduino Script :

                                      #include <Wire.h>
                                      #include "DHT.h"
                                      
                                      #define DHTPIN 2
                                      #define DHTTYPE 11
                                      
                                      DHT dht (DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
                                      
                                      
                                      
                                      void setup()
                                      {
                                        Wire.begin();
                                        Serial.begin(9600);
                                        dht.begin();
                                      }

                                        delay(2000);
                                        float temp = dht.readTemperature();
                                        float rel_hum = dht.readHumidity();

                                        Serial.print(F("Luftfeuchtigkeit: "));
                                        Serial.print(rel_hum);

                                            @Shinji0912 ok, need to see the console logs

                                            from nom start or pm2 logs

                                            and the developers window ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, then select the console tab and scroll up to see any errors.

                                            u can also filter messages by.module, by adding part.of the module name to the filter field, ardu for example
