I would like to know how to determine the port number of the Arduino nano that is connected to my macbook if I will use it in Python.
Tools>Port in Arduino IDE
/dev/cu.usbserial-A900afrI
I have this code in my .py file
import serial
a = serial.Serial('A900afrI', baudrate=9600, timeout=1)
I want to know what port should I replace 'A9000afrI' with because I get an error which is this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/cievlh/Desktop/Python/python_env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 265, in open
self.fd = os.open(self.portstr, os.O_RDWR | os.O_NOCTTY | os.O_NONBLOCK)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'A900afrI'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

a = serial.Serial('A900afrI', baudrate=9600, timeout=1)

Got it, just included the whole string according to gre_gor.
import serial
a = serial.Serial('/dev/cu.usbserial-A900afrI', baudrate=9600, timeout=1)
