Hello! I can't use command line -c option because format of unknown. In general, i want to coonect to /tmp/COM1 port. Its weird placed by rov software and i can't move it. Also i can't symlink it to /dev/ttyUSB** because don't have a root.

The command line string is for development, so we don't put enough time documenting it for now. But it follows the format: TYPE:ARG1:ARG2 where it can be: serial:/dev/ttyACM0:115200 or udp:0.0.0.0:1234

Thanks for answer, i test it and add some argument: Ping360:serial:/dev/ttyACM0:115200. With this correction it works fine. As I suppose, it's not too difficult to add this info in -h option output.
