I’d like to use the USB 16 Servo Controller (https://www.pololu.com/products/pololu/0390/) for an upcoming project hosted on a Linux (Debian distribution) platform. I am comfortable performing serial port communications via C on Linux.
Does the USB 16 Servo Controller act as a standard serial converter? That is, will 16 new serial port appear in my /dev directory allowing me to simply address these as standard serial ports in my C code?
The USB servo controller does not have a linux driver available, but there should be one available by the end of March. (The servo controller consists of a serial servo controller and a USB-to-serial adapter chip, the CP210x by Silicon Labs. They say the source code for the Linux driver should be available by the end of March.)
