Okay, everyone, thanks for your help and for the info. I finally got it working. I have a Unihedron SQM on one of my machines and for the life of me, couldn't get it to come up properly. That is, until I went into the SQM config XML file in ~/.indi and did the following manual edits:
- Change the device name from /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/sqm (my udev symlink name)
- Change the AUTO_DETECT selections from ENABLED to DISABLED
- Change the baud rate from 9600 to 115200

Perhaps if I had known about the baud rate up front, the auto-detection may have worked. I did not go back to retest.

I don't even know yet what device I have camping on ttyUSB0, but that's the point of this whole discussion, I needed to reference my SQM device symbolically (via udev) so that I could find the correct port; auto-detection was not working, and setting port settings via the GUI did not seem to work no matter how I tried.
