1.8.1

Serial port configuration

Optional. VSM which communicates with vehicles via serial ports should define at least one serial port, otherwise
VSM will not try to connect to the vehicles. Port name and baud rate should be both defined. [prefix] is unique for
each VSM.

1.8.1.1

Port name

Optional.

Name:

[prefix].[port index].name = [regular expression]

Description:

Ports which should be used to connect to the vehicles by given VSM. Port names are defined

by a [regular expression] which can be used to define just a single port or create a port filtering regular
expression. Expression is case insensitive on Windows. [port index] is a arbitrary port indexing name.

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.serial_port.1.name = /dev/ttyUSB[0-9]+
