Mount setup improvements 1240 #1262

Closed wtgee closed 1 month ago

wtgee commented 1 month ago

For the pocs mount setup and the pocs weather restart, set the auto detection to ignore certain ports we know are not going to match.

In particular this skips the /dev/ttyACM0 port, which is often the power board. On some systems when the auto detect probes the port it causes the arduino at that power to do a reset, which resets the trucker board, which powers down the system depending on how things are wired up.

Closes #1240
