        @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

                            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 ??

                                  @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

                                          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.
