RemoteQTH server supports only the controll arduino opensource rotator interface/controller by K3NG

Rotators page setting Arduino rotators controller connect to server via USB/UART interface.

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

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.

Connect USB/converter on another PC with linux and see on output of dmesg command.

Because RemoteQTH server running on linux, you can connect hdmi display and usb keyboard and run the dmesg command. Another alternative is connected to server via ssh from any other pc tutorial.
