[AMSAT-BB] Raspberry Pi - GPredict - Define Serial Port

Hello Everyone,

I am using a CNCTRK AZ/EL Rotor, which is controlled with an Arduino based controller using the Yaesu rotor based commands.

I normally use SATPC32 to control this system, but would like to test GPredict also.

In the Arduino Sketch, there are a couple of notations that seem to define the comport, but am not sure where to integrate this in the Raspbian version of Linux to allow GPredict to control the rotor.

Here are the two lines in the Arduino Sketch:

For use with GPredict, substitute your serial port in the following commands: rotctl -m 603 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 (for testing the communications) rotctld -m 603 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 & (to start a daemon as needed for GPredict)

I also read a reference to starting the Daemon, where might this be found?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
