Has anyone successfully connected a stratux receiver in the last year or so?
The TU-S9 v2 has been replaced by the v3 version and it outputs a steady -8v signal after running the posted GRT update file. Trendnet drivers seem to be specific to the TU-S9 version.

I'm using raspberry pi 3, mini v2.
I've also been trying the CP2102 adapter but so far have not been able to program the required "Stratux Serialout" description from my windows 10 or 11 computer. The hints and suggestions online seem to be too far out of date to help.

Re: stratux
Did you use a generic CP2102 or buy the official Stratux one? The official Stratux one from the Stratux store is preprogrammed to identify as a Stratux Serialout adapter so it should always work with (at least be detected by) any official Stratux image (the old v1.6r1 or the newer US "eu" images). A generic CP2102 adapter would need to use our cp2102 patch if you can't reprogram it. If you have one with the switches, they are supposed to be 1-ON, 2-OFF, and 232-TTL, but I don't think they affect detection. Use the 232T pin for output.
The TU-S9 works with the same drivers and identifies as the same device up to v3.0. They are identified as USB VID 067b and PID 2303. However, v3.1+ require a driver update and a patch update to go with a newer set of chips and PIDs. I think the newer "eu" Stratux images have the driver update, but they also require a change to our patch to match the new PIDs.
There are some radio receivers that can interfere with the serial connections because they use serial chips, but I think those are very old. All the recommended ones I've seen since we've been using them don't interfere. There are some GPS units that can interfere because they also use a serial chip to communicate. For this reason it's best to use a GPS that has a u-blox chip. It's easy to test this by disconnecting the GPS and booting without it.

Re: stratux
thank you Jeff
Great explanation.
I have a generic CP2102 with the switches and finally found a Windows 10 driver for it at a hobby robotic site so that I could program it's identity and it is now working well. (Never did find the Windows driver on the manufacturer's site)
My TU-S9 shows VID 067B PID 23A3 so it's probably v3.1+ and would need a newer patch version. The existing patch did allow me to set a baud rate but the device did not transmit any serial data. I'm currently using stratux version 1.6r1eu30-150f2828us. None of the earlier stratux software that I've tried has worked with this TU-S9 either. I do have the u-blox GPS and do not have AHRS chip.
