  3.  Copy configsample.json to config.json
  4. Modify config.json:”serial_rotors”: “/dev/ttyS1”,
    “serial_transceiver_keenwoodts2000”: “/dev/ttyS0”,
    “serial_transceiver_icom9100”: “/dev/ttyUSB0”,
  5. Modify app.js//Database stuff
    // var db = new require(“./utils/test_database.js”)()
    var db = new require(“./utils/database.js”)();
