Re: How to change default name for FTDI USB serial node to use cable ID

 

HI Dave

I am sitting here with some problem whit ser2net there will not recognize my usb port ?? a new version of net2ser need a YAML config file and that is out of my range to figure it out ;-) sadly this has worked before but I cant rember how I did it last time ;-)

but I have try your solution where I go in to the file browser in my ubuntu pc /dev/serial/by-id and copy the path of the usb

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Arduino__www.arduino.cc__0042_85534313837351F0C180-if00

but it will not use the path to show the way to my usb ???

it is a arduino board , but when I use the Arduino node I can get in contact whit the board ...no problem.

The EA4TX boxes probably do not have genuine FTDI chipsets in them. Either a different chip that does not have unique serial numbers or Chinese clones of FTDI.?

This is an issue with some USB to serial converters you buy from eBay and Amazon. They close an FTDI chip and all the closes have no serial number or the same serial number. Prolific chipsets also do not have unique serial numbers.?

If you ever reboot the api and wind up controlling the wrong rotor, you¡¯ll know why.?

...but another question now has emerged on another project that I did some digging around in.

I got to looking at my pi in the amp rack that has a couple of EA4TX boxes (2x6 pack antenna & tail twister rotator) control.??

I'm using ser2net to send the serial data over the network to another pi running Node Red, so the Pi in the amp rack is basically a serial to network media converter. Works great.??

In the /dev/by-id folder, I only see 1 of my EA4TX boxes.

pi@elayerrack:/dev/serial/by-id $ ls -lah
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Dec 18 15:09 .

?

but in the /dev/by-path folder, I see both of them.

pi@elayerrack:/dev/serial/by-path $ ls -lah

pi@elayerrack:/dev/serial/by-path $

Any ideas on why that is?
