Can't connect to FLAME-T Spectrometer On Raspberry Pi #301

Hi,

I can't seem to connect to a FLAME-T spectrometer using raspberry pi. For reference, I am stripping down to the most basic diagnostic scripts in order to be sure that the spectrometer can connect, so no fancy SW stuff is happening.

System details:

• Raspberry Pi Trixie OS (most recent)
• Raspberry Pi 5
• FLAME-T Spectrometer
• Pyseabreeze backend explicitly defined

Troubleshooting tried thus far:

• Confirmed permissions are enabled for my user
• Confirmed the spectrometer can be correctly directly accessed by pyUSB
• Ran OS setup as dictated by documentation
• Confirmed udev rules
• Tried manual access based on product and vendor IDs (from_serial_number, etc.)
• Confirmed sufficient power supply to the spectrometer via USB
• Changed pyusb reference library to various versions per another thread on this

When I use list_devices() it returns an empty list []. I have tried I think basically everything (?) but I am not a software developer at all, so it's entirely possible I just don't have the required background. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
