UTM-30LX not detected on /dev/ttyACM(*) by Ubuntu

edit

I am trying to connect my UTM-30LX to ubuntu 16.04 running ROS kinetic using the urg_node. I have installed URG and I am following this tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/hokuyo_node/Tutor... (for the Hokuyo_node as I could not find a tutorial for the urg_node). All I have done so far is connect the lidar to my computer through USB and power it. I see no mention on Hokuyos website of linux drivers. Whenever I type ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 ubuntu spits out ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyACM0': No such file or directory. I have run various commands and I've realised that ubuntu is not detecting the UTM-30LX at all, It registers no change on /dev whenever the usb is connected
