How to find the device name like '/dev/..' when connected directly in mac? #50

Closed varunmannam closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I was testing in mac the example python code and there was a line that says device name: device = '/dev/spidev0.0/' with Lepton(device) as l: a,_ = l.capture()

In this code, how to find the USB device name as /dev/...? I can see the device in the USB section of mac. PureThermal (fw:v1.3.0)@14420000  <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x100002d64, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (5 ms), retain 16>   |         "PortNum" = 2   |         "USB Serial Number" = "00180033-5119-3138-3931-383900000000"

I can use the GUI in mac to see the thermal images, but I want to save the raw data. Can someone please help me to find this device name in the mac?

Do we need any other Arduino/beagle/Raspberry PI board to connect this pure thermal? Thanks.

This library is for the breakout board (SPI) and not for the purethermal boards (USB). You will find the python examples in https://github.com/groupgets/purethermal1-uvc-capture applicable to your use case.
