Hi All,

?

I did a quick YouTube video on how to change the default FTDI based USB serial node name from /dev/TTYUSB0 to the path by ID name which includes the FTDI cable/device serial number. This is unique for each FTDI interface.

The order you plug FTDI USB to serial cables in to a Raspberry Pi running Node Red will determine the default name, so if you have multiple USB to serial cables it is possible to have the wrong device connected to a flow. By using the By ID path for the serial node it will ensure the flow always uses the proper cable.

Here¡¯s a link to the video. As of the writing of this post the video is still rendering to HD. The HD rendering should be completed soon.
