Manage Multiple FTDI Devices

Open dds90 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

In an Ubuntu system with 2 FTDI USB RS485 converters (one is active in Modbus RTU poller from OpenHAB and in the other I would like to transmit DMX) but when restarting the olad service or plugins, it starts transmitting DMX512 in both ports regardless of which tty is selected. In one port it transmits the selected Universe, instead in the other port the ModBUS polling is suspended and only the preamble characters (Break and MAB) of an unknown DMX512 Universe are transmitted

Am I the only one who has this or is it a known problem?

I made sure to disable all unnecessary plugins and only enable /conf/ola-ftdidmx.conf.html

I am sure that the converters are original and of good quality as they were purchased from an official reseller

The converters were also renamed with FT_Prog for better recognition

Am I doing it wrong? Or is there a solution?

Is it better to configure ola from GUI or from files?
