How is your vue connected to the laptop ?
If it is a Davis USB data logger 'or' a serial logger+serial/usb adaptor,
The usual device for a modern Linux is /dev/ttyUSB0 and there are a couple
ways to figure that out.
One way is to run 'dmesg' and look at the output. On my pi4 here it would
include:
[ 6.515632] pl2303 1-1.3:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[ 6.533119] usb 1-1.3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
That's my serial2USB adaptor that the Vantage serial logger is connected
to. Note the 'ttyUSB0' which shows that /dev/ttyUSB0 is the device for my
setup here, if that helps any.
Running 'lsusb' will show you what USB devices are connected to the box:
pi@pi4:~ $ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial
Port / Mobile Action MA-8910P
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Note bus 001 device 003 matches up with the "usb 1-1.3" from the dmesg
command.
If you don't see anything connected you might try disconnecting and
reconnecting your console from the computer (assuming it's USB) and the
dmesg command should show that happening.
But it's likely /dev/ttyUSB0 that you want...
