[PD] how to pd2stepper motor?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Sounds like the [comport] probably didn't create properly.  If you  
have a recent auto-build or the most recent test release, then you  
can send a [info( message to [comport] and get a list of the  
available serial ports and their corresponding numbers.  Then you  
would do [comport 4] if /dev/ttyUSB0 is #4.
