Is there an easy way of telling if a USB cable is data or charge only?

RE: Can't connect my mac to Duet 2 Wifi
@droftarts
Thanks Ian, that makes a bit more sense, although I still don't understand why I don't see anything when I type the ls /dev/tty.* command? Does the mac OS only display the USB driver when it has a device connected?
In Step 3 of the connection guide on the Duet3D.dozuki site it mentions that I should see something like '/dev/tty.usbmodem1411' when I run the ls /dev/tty.* command. What is that actually telling me? I have been assuming that in a similar way to a Windows machine, it is pointing to a driver file in the OS somewhere. -
RE: Can't connect my mac to Duet 2 Wifi
I have a portable backup drive that connect via USB, so there must be USB drivers somewhere in the OS. When I have the portable drive connected and type the same command (ie. ls /dev/tty.*) it still does not display any USB file.
Unfortunately I am only a newbie when it comes to Mac's and don't fully understand how the OS works. -

So are you saying that when I type the command 'ls /dev/tty.*' it will only list the USB file if the Duet is connected with a data USB cable?Surely there is some way of seeing if the USB drivers are installed on the mac without having something connected?

I have tried a few different cables with no real difference. But the cable wouldn't make a difference to whether I can find the USB driver in Terminal would it?

Can't connect my mac to Duet 2 Wifi
I am trying to connect my Duet 2 Wifi to my mac to set it up for a new Wifi network, however when I try to connect via USB, I don't see any USB drivers when I type the 'ls /dev/tty.*' command in terminal. All I see is '/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port'.
I has no issues setting the Duet up with this mac initially, so I'm not sure what the issue is now.
