Skipping usb port discovery

[brad.zdanivsky]

Something users or developers might want to do is manually configure the ports used by the lights and motors.

in the "oculus_settings.txt" file in the folder "Oculus\conf", you simply add the following lines:

arduinoculus COMY

oculed COMX

This will tell Oculus to just use these ports and skip the discovery (which is default). We are currently fixing this in Linux, stay tuned here for updates.

You can use the windows device manager to get the COM port mappings, but you need to plug in one at a time. The arduinoculus and the ocuLED both use the same type of USB to serial converters and will look the same. Or just let discovery figure out which is which and will be displayed on the bot's browser at: http://127.0.0.1:5080/oculus/initialize.html
