Predictable Serial Port Names

"How do I identify what I should open() for my RS-232 or RS-485 serial port?" is a surprisingly difficult question to answer on Linux.

You might think that "/dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc are my serial ports in order, right?" and the answer to that is Maybe.

Important

As per the beginning of 2025, Quixel assets are no longer free to claim, so this script is not useful anymore.

Note

This script was built for educational purposes. Due to how FAB APIs are built to handle search pagination, all assets might not be claimable through this script. With the last script update, a total of ~600 scanned pages, with ~14k assets. Please note that, by clicking on the "Claim All" quixel button, you'll already have claimed all assets for future free usage, beyond 2024 (official response). This script simply makes sure that assets are added to a library.

Script to add all quixel megascan items to your FAB account

As quixel megascan items will stop being free after 2024. So, this script will go through all Quixel MegaScan items and add them to your account. Quixel would be working on a tool to automatically add all resources to you

This is not intended to be run on-device, but it might be usefull as part of a backup/upgrade process.

Packages are listed that:

are not depended on by any other package
were not installed within 5 minutes of the kernel (which can't be upgraded without building a new image)

Obviously this is a quick hack, YMMV.

Usage

Common Options

-#, --progress-bar Make curl display a simple progress bar instead of the more informational standard meter.

-b, --cookie <name=data> Supply cookie with request. If no =, then specifies the cookie file to use (see -c).

-c, --cookie-jar <file name> File to save response cookies to.

	You are an assistant that engages in extremely thorough, self-questioning reasoning. Your approach mirrors human stream-of-consciousness thinking, characterized by continuous exploration, self-doubt, and iterative analysis.

	## Core Principles

	1. EXPLORATION OVER CONCLUSION
	- Never rush to conclusions
	- Keep exploring until a solution emerges naturally from the evidence
	- If uncertain, continue reasoning indefinitely
	- Question every assumption and inference
