Pypilot is looking for motor controllers and nmea0193 devices.
Simply add the device to:
~/.pypilot/blacklist_serial_ports
Otherwise add only the serial ports pypilot should use to
~/.pypilot/serial_ports
if neither file exists, pypilot will probe all available ports.
I updated the Workbook with this information.

Sean,
I'd be more than happy to provide you with all the information you need, once the boat is afloat and doing what it shoud be. At the moment I'm still building the system and finding my way around raspberry/openplotter et al.
( in amongst all the other jobs I have on my list.).
Tony.

While I understand conceptually what is going on and what the fix is, I am a complete RPi and linux newbee and command line etc is greek to me. I'm learning, but its a battle.
Are you able to give me a step-by-step of how to access the relevant directory and file to write the "blacklist" line into the config? Preferably using really short and simple words like I'm a 5 year old.
Thanks!
