How to detect other ttyUSB devices?

[Gozzie0]

Hello

I'm using CH348 8 port RS232 USB boards that once the driver is loaded, show up as the following (I have 2 USB boards connected)

`$ find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev|grep 'ttyC' | sort -V

I can't get ConsolePi to detect them - can you please help/advise how to find the tty devices?

`$ consolepi-addconsole
Launching ConsolePi Adapter Definition/Rename Utility
!! No Local Adapters Detected. Nothing to rename, exiting...

==========================================================
---------------- ConsolePi Serial Menu -----------------

No local serial devices found.
No remote ConsolePis discovered and reachable.
No Manually Defined TELNET/SSH hosts configured.
!! There is Nothing to display !!

`

Many thanks

same here... even I was able to create udev symlinks to support multiple of these serial boards from Aliexpress, ConsolePi is unable to detect these adapters.

Is there any way to handle these device names? Or is there a chance to statically map these names into ConsolePi ?
I mean, the automatic detection is great, but a way to feed ConsolePi just with some static device names would be great, to solve those issues.

consolepi-addconsole breaks with that error message:

of course no answer to that issue... since that project seems to be dead.
