Connecting the Roboteq to Jetson TX2

[Tyagi-Ramakrishnan]

Hi,
I am working with a Roboteq MDC2460 and a Jetson tx2. I got my robot pre-wired to work with an RC controller which uses pulse signals. I was able to connect it and run the robot with an analog joystick with my windows laptop as the serial connection using the usb port. I am trying to figure out how I can hook up the RS232 connection to the Jetson either via uart, i2c, gpio, or can. There is not much documentation on how to go about this. I have scoured the net with not much luck. I was able to install the ros drivers and run some simple scripts to retrieve battery voltage, temprature etc. but I have not been able to control the robot using my analog joystick or through code. Am I missing something here? Any help pointing me in the correct direction will help.
