I am adding the Pegasus Powerbox Advance (PPBA) to my setup.
It has been giving serial connection errors all the day. Now is working with a simple profile: only my Nikon camera (plus shutter relay) and the telescope simulator.
My question is: Is it possible to map the PPBA to a fixed port with the Stellarmate Serial Port Assistant ?
I mapped it as /dev/pegasus. In the raspi (Stellarmate 1.3.5) a rules file was created in /lib/udev/rules.d with the SYMLINK+="pegasus".
However, no pegasus symlink appeared in /dev. So if I assign the port /dev/pegasus in the PPBA driver I get a Series Connection Error.
Is this expected ? Why the symlink was not created ?
In my setup I found a folder in /dev/serial/by-id with symlinks pointing to different USB ports.
One of these simlinks was "usb-Pegasus_Astro_PPBADV_revA_PPBA4PSFVS-if00-port0".
The symlink was pointing to ../../ttyUSB1.
In INDI, I set the name of the communication port as in the symlink:
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Pegasus_Astro_PPBADV_revA_PPBA4PSFVS-if00-port0
And that is !
Previously I mapped the ppba with the serial port assistant but probably this is not necessary because ppba is not a serial to USB device..
Hope this also works for you.
