Stuck at Step 4... PathToUsbDevice

[TimInNC]

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Service Pack 1

I am stuck at Step 4 of Software

python ControlScripts/control.py /dev/tty.PathToUsbDevice

Running from the command prompt as administrator all attempts end with

C:\Windows\system32>python ControlScripts/control.py dev/tty.PathToUsbDevice python: can't open file ControlScripts/control.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This link is to the actual chipset in my device.

https://www.silabs.com/community/interface/knowledge-base.entry.html/2013/11/21/windows_usb_devicep-aGxD

Which shows the steps for finding the "Finding the Device Path Parameters using Device Manager"

Device Description: Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge
Device Instance Path: USB\VID_10C4&PID_EA60\0190F200
Location Information: Port_#0001.Hub_#0001

It appears that I can communicate with the board (adafruit Metro) on COM 5 using Arduino.

The board starts out with blinking LEDS and after uploading, both the red and green LED are steady.

The preceding steps seem to have completed successfully.

Installed c:\users\lenovo\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages\pillow-5.4.1-py3.6-win-amd64.egg

Installed c:\users\lenovo\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages\pyserial-3.4-py3.6.egg

What I get.

C:\Windows\system32>python ControlScripts/control.py /dev/tty.USB\VID_10C4&PID_EA60\0190F200
python: can't open file 'ControlScripts/control.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory The system cannot find the path specified.

What is the correct path for the device?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8290913/pyserial-error-5-access-is-denied I think you can pass a number like “3” or “4” in place of “ /dev/tty.PathToUsbDevice”. This will use COM3 or COM4 respectively which is a Windows thing vs Mac or Linux. I am not super familiar with the details of Windows and pyserial myself. But hopefully that stackoverflow link is also useful Evan
