Hi @atmosic and welcome to the forum! With linux, you first need to ensure that you have proper permissions to access the device. Check out this discussion.

You need to issue two commands:

$ lsusb -d 16d0:0e88
$ ls -al /dev/bus/usb/{bus}/{device}

Replacing {bus} and {device} with the values returned by lsusb. On my system, I see:

$ lsusb -d 16d0:0e88
Bus 002 Device 021: ID 16d0:0e88 MCS
$ ls -al /dev/bus/usb/002/021
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 148 Jun 26 19:07 /dev/bus/usb/002/021

If you don’t have sufficient permissions, you need to add a udev rule.

It looks like libusb was found, but just in case also do this:

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

You should then be able to install the joulescope package (which you probably already have done):

pip3 install joulescope

Then try:

python3 -m joulescope gpo_demo

Here is the expected output:
