I've just bought rplidar A1 and connected it with my pc running ros melodic. After i connect it with usb port. The lidar is rotating but i can't see any port in /dev/tty* for it. How should i fix it?

I am assuming this in on Ubuntu. USB devices can be powered without a connection.

Try running `lsusb -tv" before and after plugging the device and report back what happens. You should be able to diff the two and find out where the device is mounted.
