Signalk serial ports and discovered connections

[Sailoog]

Interesting. Do you plan to write Signal K settings directly from openplotter-serial? Could you document what kind of structures you are creating on disk, maybe it would be worthwhile to support named serial connections directly in Signal K admin application.

This time we did not want to manage SK connections from OP and we wanted to "force" users to use the SK admin page. But lot of people reported problems using the SK interface. It seems that those 2 fields to define the serial device are confusing, do not ask me why...
Finally we have chose an intermediate solution. You can choose between creating an auto connection (OP does it all) or a manual connection (you are redirected to the SK connections page). When you want to edit that connection from OP interface you are always redirected to the SK admin page. Hopefully this make easier to familiarize with the SK interface.

We are using this structure: "/dev/ttyOP_" + <alias>, example: /dev/ttyOP_gps. User defines the alias. You can see an udev example and an screenshot of the OP interface in my previous post.

Currently SK is not showing these symlinks. Would there be a way to show them?
