Can't launch example Ellipse-D Series

[nachovizzo]

Problem Description

I'm just trying to launch the default example, ellipse-D connected to the /dev/ttyUSB0 port with no success. What sort of steps should I follow to make this work?

Firmware version

The first step would be to ensure that the ellipse baudrate is correct. What value is configured for the portA in the SbgCenter ? It should match what is in your configuration file (from your log: /sbg_ellipseD/uartConf/baudRate: 115200).

[nachovizzo]

I confirm that setting the baud rate through the sbgCenter application only available for Windows does solve this problem.
