                  portname: "/dev/ttyUSB0",
      

      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

                    @Shinji0912 don’t see ttyUSB0
                    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();
                              }
                                
                              
                              void loop()
                              {
                                delay(2000);
                                float temp = dht.readTemperature();
                                float rel_hum = dht.readHumidity();
                               
                              
                                if (isnan(rel_hum) || isnan(temp)) {
                                  Serial.println(F("Daten vom Sensor konnten nicht gelesen werden!"));
                                  return;
                                }
                                float hif = dht.computeHeatIndex(rel_hum);
                                float hic = dht.computeHeatIndex(temp, rel_hum, false);
                              
                                Serial.print(F("Luftfeuchtigkeit: "));
                                Serial.print(rel_hum);
                                Serial.print(F("%  Temperatur: "));
                                Serial.print(temp);
                                
                                Serial.print(F("°C "));
                                
                                Serial.println(F(""));
                              }
                              
                              
                              

                              Some things are in german so dont be suprised ^^

                              and via NodeRed i know that it is working and the Pi is currently reading the data.

                                    @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

                                            Ok so like i said it starts now , but the ArduPorts module still says : “waiting for connection”
                                            and i added the

                                            debug: true,
                                            

                                            line. And for some reason Ctrl + shift + i does nothing for me except that the radeon software takes a screenshot… so heres the full console log :
