ls dev/tty.Sphero* doesn't give the serial port out.

I have been trying different ways but the command mentioned which should return a serial port of my sphero on the terminal doesn't do anything. Is there any way to find the serial port of the sphere to insert in the index.js file ?

Hey!

Have you tried ls dev/tty.Sphero* or ls /dev/tty.Sphero*? The correct one is the second one.
If you've tried that, can you tell me the error you're getting?

Also, I'm working on a Mac so the command is probably different if you're working with something else.

Hi I am using MacBook pro. This is the error I am having. Can you tell me which directory I'm supposed to be in ? since it is not detecting the command.
himadris-MacBook-Pro:node_modules himadriacharya$ ls /dev/tty.Sphero*
ls: /dev/tty.Sphero*: No such file or directory

Hey!

Have you paired your Sphero with your computer at least once before?

Usually, you can run this command from anywhere but if you've never paired the device with your laptop before, it won't have any reference to a Sphero address.

Let me know if it works!
