Assistance with Cube Orange Plus USB Serial Ports

Cube Autopilot
1

Hi, I’m reaching out to see if someone can help me with this.

I’ve noticed that when my Cube Orange Plus is connected to the computer via USB, it shows two serial IDs:

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-CubePilot_CubeOrange+_2A001A000751323031393637-if00
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-CubePilot_CubeOrange+_2A001A000751323031393637-if02

I’ve tried to connect to the Cube using MAVProxy with both, but when I attempt to use the second one, I get a “link 1 down” message.

I was wondering if it’s possible to use the second serial interface to retrieve information from the Cube, perhaps in parallel with the first. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

@kurama794 the second com port is generally used for SLCAN connection, its enabled when you have CAN_SLCAN_CPORT parameter and CAN enabled. If you want to use the serial port for something else, set parameter SERIAL6_PROTOCOL to protocol you want, it can be mavlink (value 2).
