udev is the way, IMO. At least on the Pi that I have a lot of experience with. The rules are a pain in the rear. Probably because I don't fully understand how it works, so it is a process of trial and error. But udev is the only way I've gotten consistent control of device naming for projects.

Not just difficult. You can always jam them in, at least into leaf style sockets. The real problem is it's bad for the socket and that is an unconscionable thing to do to unwitting users. On Fri, Feb 26, 2021, 1:52 PM Greg Swallow wrote: > Steve, > > I can agree on the square pins being

Curtis, Once you plug your USB to serial adapter into your system, it will show up under /dev. You have to have permissions to access it so you will likely need to use chmod on it before you can use it. By default, mComm will use the first serial port (if there are any). By default, mComm will

They are ‘rectangular’ but not ‘square’. As I mentioned, “You want the type that has a rectangular but not square profile with the thin side less than 0.5mm. These work well in normal leaf sockets and seem to work well in machine pin sockets as well.” These leads on these headers measure
