I have not yet found a USB-to-serial adapter detected as /dev/ttyACM1. Try /dev/ttyUSB0 ?
Both naming schemes are correct, depending on the *type* of USB to serial converter. The difference comes down to a low-level USB implementation detail which I’ve never bothered to commit to long-term memory.
Yep. If I recall correctly, minicom defaults to ttyACM0 or 1 on a fresh install. I wasn't claiming that device name was wrong, but more so that ttyUSB0 is more common (though that may not truly be the case).
I just say “dmesg | tail” or “ls -ltr /dev” shortly after plugging the device in. One of the two tells me which scheme that particular device uses.
Yes indeed. Dmesg is my first stop as well. :-)
This could suffice as well. Many ways to "skin the cat" ~$ ls -l /dev/tty[A-Z]*
