Arduino rotators module connect to server via USB/UART interface.

Every interface must have a different serial number, to uniquely identify the server.

Configure USB

USB converters from FTDI contain a unique serial number. To show (or change) can be used to program FTDI FT_Prog

USB converters based on CP210x chip set with software CP210xSetIDs.exe, download Direct link CP211x Device Customization Software. These chips have a default sn 0001. We need to change to other unique number. On last picture is sn changed to 7301.

Findings Number to enter in web forms server setting.

Find id's and sn in Linux

Connect USB/converter on another PC with linux or direct to RemoteQTH server
