Just purchased new ZWO AM5N Mount. INDI won't connect to it. #2148

Describe the bug I just purchased a brand new ZWO AM5N (2024 version) mount. My Stellarmate Pro won't connect to it.

To Reproduce Exact steps to reproduce the behavior.

  1. Obtain mount and connect it to Stellarmate Pro using the USB port
  2. Create a Profile using the AM5 USB driver
  3. Try to start it. Connection fails. Log complains that /dev/ttyUSB0 does not exist, which is indeed the case. Config file generated for me by INDI mentions /dev/ttyUSB0.

Expected behavior I expected a connection to be made

Screenshots Screenshot showing config file and lsusb output

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Log Files Log was sent to Stellarmate, Issue see #1000

Scan ports and it should be detected. Use the Port Selector tool. I literally connected to a new AMN5 yesterday with SM Pro without any issues.

Thanks, Jasem. I'm unfamiliar with that tool since I've only used Celestron AVX up until now. I guess you mean this. I also see this, making use of the Bluetooth capabilities of the mount, which sounds intriguing because of one less cable, maybe.
Would one be better than the other?

Yes, port selector. I think bluetooth is not working reliably, we're working on improving that.

It worked. That was easy enough. thanks.
