Thanks for the reply. When I open BrewPi I do not see a red or green light. It just says script not running. But when I try to launch the script manually it says that it is already running.
Should I see red and green lights and should I see that the script is running, even if the Arduino isn't connected?
When I type in the command you listed it shows ttyACMO. When I unplug the device and run the command it says it cannot access it, which it shouldn't be able to obviously so that is good. When I plug it into a different USB port is shows up again as ttyACMO.
Could it be a rights issue? That was the only part of the brewpi installation that didn't seem to go as planned. Well, a few other things didn't go as planned but I'm pretty sure I got them resolved. Just not sure if I have the appropriate rights assigned. Also I named my machine Debian, so I access BrewPi by going to
http://debian/ and not an IP address or another name like BrewPi. (If that makes a difference)
