Describe the bug Uploading output to a k8-pi with a dmx serial port define causes warning in FPP: Could not initialize output type USBDMX Check Log for Details USBDMX: Error opening device: /dev/ttyAMA0 If I manually configure the port in FPP there is no error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Add K8-Pi controller with no expansion. Only configure a single prop for dmx click Upload outputs FPP status pages dispalys error above

Expected behavior There should be no error

I poked around with the controller config file and modified the fppSerialPort1 line and tried both ttyAMA10 and ttyAMA2. Stopping xlights each time and restarting to pull in the file. Neither change caused a warning, but when I tried to connect the LOR controller the green status light continued to flash. I put F-Test on the DMX line and got no data. I tested the K16A-B with F-Test and I was getting a reading on the F-Test. So I know that was working. I'm not sure the serial port is actually working.
