Additional serials on navio

Navio / Edge Hardware

Sure, I’ll try my best. But please take into account that I don’t have an actual device to test the instructions with.

Firstly, take a look at this docs entry.

SERIAL4 is -E switch.

  1. Hook up an FTDI USB<->UART
  2. Run dmesg and verify that it got connected and given a name e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0
  3. sudo ArduCopter-quad -A udp:<ip>:<port> -E /dev/ttyUSB0
  4. Use the docs from above to setup lidar.
  5. Restart ArduCopter

This should be it.
