We can do a quick Zoom if you like. I¡¯m heading in the hospital early Tuesday morning. Let me know if you have 15 minutes and when. It is straightforward but quicker to just show you on Zoom. 73

Re: RCS-4 Antenna Switch Replacement - WA4MCM Remote Switch
Windows will remember and reserve the com port number for FTDI chipset USB devices based on the serial number in the chipset in the FTDI USB interface. In Linux as a default the TTYUSB ports are

Hi Tim, Are the SteppIR, rotor controller, and antenna switch all located at the tower? Do you have anything else in the shack that needs to be connected to Node Red (not including network)? If so,

Re: RCS-4 Antenna Switch Replacement - WA4MCM Remote Switch
Hi Kyle, You might want to change to address the USB device By ID instead of TTYUSB in case other USB serial devices will ever get plugged in. I¡¯m sure you know this and are just debugging now. 73

Re: RCS-4 Antenna Switch Replacement - WA4MCM Remote Switch
Hey Tyler, Here is the latest.? After figuring out the USB module was bad in the WA4MCM switch, I got a new module and it looks like the Pi can see the unit now as ttyUSB, which is good first step.
