Octo4a how to find serial port with putty

[Dan Flemming]

Bought a Blu View 2 (android 11) to use as a replacement for my not working pi.

After many hours of trying, searching, and getting frustrated, I managed to use an old version of Octo4a (0.0.5) to get octoprint installed and running.

I have the webcam on the phone working.

I can login to it using ssh (putty), but I don't know the correct command to find the serial port name.

Can someone tell me the command to find the serial address? (bmesg don't work)

I'm using /dev/ttyOcto4a but I'm not connecting...

The server on the phone says there printer "isn't connected".

I had to buy a usb-c to usb cable (tested it by plugging it into my laptop).

I'm using the same OTG cable the worked on the tablet.

Even using my Raspberry pi power cable (I was forced to buy).

Also tried the power charger that came with the phone.

Thanks,

D

I finally got a port working, but octoprint won't connect.

/dev/bus/usb/001/007

I put this address into octoprinter's settings for Additional Serial Ports, but no go.
