Well, summing up:

* Check that the USB device is found at all by invoking `lsusb` as root
* Check that the serial device is found by calling `dmesg` and `ls -l 
/dev/ttyACM* /dev/ttyUSB*`
* Ensure your user has permissions to access the TTY device node
* Ensure you have a corr3ct serial config (Ctrl-A O): Correct speed, bits per 
byte, parity, stopbits. And disable all handshake (rts/cts, dtr/dsr, xon/xoff) 
initially
