Starling HITL no serial port data or connection made
-
Hi, I've been having issues setting up the HITL simulator using this cable connected to the VOXL2 J18 port on the Starling: https://www.modalai.com/collections/accessories/products/mcbl-00010
and I've been following this tutorial: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-PX4-hitl/When I connect this cable to the host-PC running Ubuntu 20.04 there is no USB-serial connection detected or made other than the existing USB-C port and it is not found in /dev/ttyUSB# and dmesg -w does not show any connection being made. I am unsure if this is a cable issue (I've tried numerous mini-usb cables) or a problem with the way Linux handles the connection as this tutorial video has a similar setup: https://youtu.be/ysvpJdXFWaM?si=1ltYazXT03agZOAl
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

@JoeAR_21 Sounds like you don't have the right cable then. When you plug in the USB to serial cable then you will see a new
/dev/ttyUSBxconnection show up on the host-PC, regardless of whether it is attached to VOXL 2 or not. If that isn't happening then you don't have the correct cable. -
