Error: Failed to autodetect serial port, please set it manually

What is the problem?
Unable to connect to my Creality CR-10 via USB

What did you already try to solve it?
Quite a bit. Checked dmesg output for hints as to what might be going wrong. Checked /dev/tty* for any devices I might be able to add to Octoprint to get it to connect. Also checked lsusb output, and can see what appears to be the printer listed. Manually set baud rate in Octoprint to 115200 as directed in many postings, but still no success.

So, I have done lots of research on this, and genuinely can't find the issue. Listing of /dev/tty* gives the following:

Tried adding ttyAMA0 and ttyprintk to the list of additional ports.

output of lsusb is as follows:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I believe device 009 is the printer, so it's being picked up by the OS.

I expected to see /dev/ttyUSB0 listed, but it's not there at all, so obviously adding that into the list of additional ports is a waste of time.

Anyone got any ideas? Would really love to get Octopi up and running.

Thanks

So ttyAMA0 is definitely the Raspberry Pi's own serial port (the one on its GPIO headers) and not your printer, unless you've intentionally reconfigured that, which I assume you have not.

I agree that it is probably 009 on bus 001. To figure out what device is the right one, SSH into your Pi. Unplug the printer, plug it in again, run dmesg. It should say something about a USB serial device having been found and which one. Or that it ran into an issue in which case that's also a hint. Best provide the output of dmesg so we can take a look at it as well.

Thanks @foosel. putty.log (126.2 KB)

Output of dmesg attached...

Tried googling the 'no module found in object' message but couldn't find anything meaningful.

Any thoughts anyone?

Did you find any solution about it? I've same problem also and still I can't fix it.
