Brainflow serial port name on Raspberry vs Mac

When I use the brainflow code to stream from ganglion it's working on my MAC but when I use it on raspberry pi it does not work due to the serial port address; this is the command line I use:

python brainflow_get_data.py --log --board-id 1 --serial-port /dev/cu.usbmodem11

This is the serial port of the Mac and it works fine but can anyone help on how to get the BLED dongle serial port address

  • The serial port address on the Raspberry pi will be different than on the mac. To determine the serial port address on the Pi, remove the dongle, then in a console window type in "ls /dev". Now plug in the dongle and type in "ls /dev" again. You should notice a new device in this list. This will be the address of your dongle.

    For example with the cyton dongle, on mac it is /dev/cu.usbserial.BlahBlah, but on the raspberry pi the same dongle is at /dev/ttyUSB0 (assuming you have on other USB to TTY adapters, it may be at /dev/ttyUSB1 for example).
