This turned out to be an easy way to run Lady Heather itself (herself ?) on Linux - it works well under Wine, but identifying the serial port is a problem. But run Heather with '/ip=localhost' and ser2net to connect to the USB serial port and all is smooth.
I used the ser2net config line 45000:raw:0:/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Generic_USB_to_Serial_Converter_OCB6T5Y1-if00-port0:9600 8DATABITS ODD 1STOPBIT LOCAL to identify a specific ftdi converter connected to a Trimble Resolution T rather than a thunderbolt (it requires 8 / odd / 1) On Tue, Jan 12, 2016 at 2:40 PM, Mike George <mgeo...@tuffmail.us> wrote: > Ed: > > A few recommendations for troubleshooting. > > In /etc/ser2net.conf comment out the 4 default lines (/dev/ttyS0-3) > so that the line Nick provided is the only config present. > > Stop ser2net: > /etc/init.d/ser2net stop > then restart: > /etc/init.d/ser2net start > > Make sure ser2net is running: > ps -ef | grep ser2net > > If not, tail /var/log/syslog and see if any errors were reported on > statrtup. > Normally you just see a single line reporting successful startup. > > If it is running , make sure it is listening on the socket you specified > (3200): > netstat -tln | grep 3200 > > you should see a line with 0.0.0.0:3200 under local address > > There is additional troubleshooting you can do depending on results > of above steps. > > Good luck. > > Mike > > On 1/12/2016 03:58, Ed Armstrong wrote: > >> More details please.
