Hey,
i using Stellarmate Os und want to connect to my Pegasus Power Box Advance via Ekos.
But i always gets the following Error:

[Warning]: Communication with /dev/ttyUSB0@9600 failed. Starting Auto
[Warning[: Port /dev/ttyUSB1 is already usedby another driver or process.

Have anyone an idea how to fix this.

Thanks

I'm not sure if it is the same issue, but I also had problems trying to connect to PPBA due to port conflicts.
First be sure the port you set on INDI is where your PPBA is.
Canonical way of doing things is to map your seria device using Serial Port Assistant .
For me this didnt work.
When this fails because another device gets the port first, you can manually add to the created rule file the serial ids in order to differentiate between devices. as explained here

In my case, found that in /dev/serial/by-id there was a symlink pointing to ../../ttyUSB1.
The file was named usb-Pegasus_Astro_PPBADV_revA_PPBA4PSFVS-if00-port0
I used this symlink name in the INDI communication port for PPBA: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Pegasus_Astro_PPBADV_revA_PPBA4PSFVS-if00-port0

That worked.
