Yup.. that seems to be the only way (for now anyway) to make it work - it connected flawlessly.... now I get to learn how to use all this software!

Thank you both very much for the replies - hope all is well and y'all are safe

Just built a Raspberry Pi 4 and created the Stellarmate OS on a micro SD Card. Boots up and everything looks peachy. I've specified my equipment. The problem I'm having is with the mount. I have a Celestron CGX-L mount. In the drop down list of mounts, the closest match is the CGX.
When I start Kstars/EKOS and click the "play" button, I get this error on the mount:
2020-05-24T05:40:52: [ERROR] Failed to connect to port (/dev/ttyUSB0). Error: Port failure Error: No such file or directory. Check if device is connected to this port.

I have the mount connected via USB (from the mount itself, NOT from the hand controller).

Any ideas? TIA
