Hey lovely people. First post here, sorry to be a pain.
I have a pi3 connected to 2 printers, and now I am trying to connect 2 webcams for the 2 printers. I found This Tutorial by Chris https://youtu.be/sCxvW1XX44U and I'm already stuck. I'm trying to get info off my webcams to write a couple udev rules to distinguish between the 2.
My webcams are both logitech c170, so the only difference would be the serial number. I'm running the command "tail -F /var/log/messages", plug my camera one at a time and I get the log, but no serial number. When Chris does it in the video, it shows the serial number (although he's using the C270 cams).
Am I missing something?
This is what I get when I plug the cam in (I haven't included the whole lot, just the bit where the serial number is supposed to be in).

I have tried running this command with printers un-plugged as well, with same results.
At the end of the day I need to create 2 dev rules just like I did with my printers and I have nothing that's different to be able to use.
Any help would be awesome
Thanks guys
