I have a little industrial computer (running ubuntu 18.04) that I want to use with indi/kstars/ekos.
The machine has two "real" serial (9-pin RS232) ports.
I'd like to use the serial ports to control (1) my mount and (2) my focuser, which currently connect to the machine using USB-to-serial converters.
I've plugged the Celestron mount and Optec focus controller into the serial ports and fired up indi and stars, but I don't see how to find and specify the serial ports to use. USB seems to "just work," but I need some help getting indi to recognize and control the mount and focus controller.
Would somebody please explain how to do this?
Many thanks!
Scott Denning
