        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.

        My issue now is that my Config.js isn’t working anymore after installing ArduPorts ??

        i don’t know what to do now :C i thought i had it working this time finally …

        EDIT :

        EDIT 2 :
        But it’s still not working as i want it to it still says :“Waiting for Connection” on the Arduport module when launching the MagicMirror.

              @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 :

                      EDIT:
                      Seems like it can’t find the Arduino but via NodeRed i can see it is sending Informations which the Pi is able to read.

                        @Shinji0912 it found the Arduino and then died when the data arrived on wrong format

                          @sdetweil Ok … so is it the Arduino sketch that is the problem and if yes what should i change?

                              this is the arduino code

                              When i tried to rewrite the given code by ArduPorts it didn’t even showed me the temperature in the SerialMonitor this was the sketch ;

                              EDIT 2 :

                              This is what the Arduino SerialOutput looks like in NoteRed
                              ( using the Rewritten ArduPorts Sketch)

                                    @Shinji0912 only what u send(println) not the whole sketch

                                    json, all text strings must be in double quotes
                                    Serial.print(pcMQ2Prefix);
                                    Serial.print(m_counter);
                                    Serial.println(pcPostfix);
                                    sample shows sketch sending sensor info

                                         Serial.println("pcPostfix)"
                                      }{
                                         "Serial.println(""[status:setup:starting]"")"
                                      }{
                                         "Serial.println(""[sensor:DHT11:11]"")"
                                      }{
                                         "Serial.println(""[status:setup:failed]"")"
                                      }

                                            @Shinji0912 you can only send the sensor values in the sketch loop() function,
                                            the rest is is used for getting connected to the matching code in the python script

                                            they do
                                            arduino, hey, are u there?
                                            python script, yes, ready for sensor values

                                            arduino, once a second, or whatever frequency

                                            hey, here is sensor:???:value
