Hi! When I connect a FT232 USB to serial converter to the Cerbo GX it starts sending unsolicited data periodically (every few seconds). Checking with an oscillosope, I found at least two different baudrates being used. I tried with normal and large Venus OS image, both the same. How can I disable this? It is screwing the intendet communication. Any suggestions? Thanks!
You need to disable serial-starter for this adapter:

Thanks a lot telekatz!
Unfortunately, only the temporary solution (/opt/victronenergy/serial-starter/stop-tty.sh ttyUSB0) works for me.
When I make the serial starter to ignore the RS232R_USB_UART permanently (by adding a line in /etc/udev/rules.d/serial-starter.rules), also the grid meter, which uses the same chip, is not detected anymore.
