[SOLVED] unable to connect to EQmod

[SOLVED] unable to connect to EQmod was created by Arnold de Bruin

Hi all,
Just bought a RPi and installed Stellarmate. My Losmandy is equipped with steppermotors and an EQDrive which makes it EQmod compatible.
If I plugin the usb cable connecting the EQDrive I can see /dev/ttyUSB0 appear (and disappear when I unplug). However when I try to connect either in Ekos or with Indi device manager I get the following message:

[WARNING] Port /dev/ttyUSB0 is already used by another driver or process.
[WARNING] Communication with /dev/ttyUSB0 @ 9600 failed. Starting Auto Search...

Anybody any idea?

Cheers Arnold

This issue has been solved! It was the gpusb daemon that took the port.....

Actually Jasem found out it had to do with the GPS deamon.
I desabled it from startup - after some search on how to do that;-))
