I have two serial to USB adapters connected to my computer, each one is connected to a microcontroller.
What I want to do is send commands to each microcontroller through UART (I'm using minicom), but only one is succeeding. Both send data to the computer, but only one is capable of receiving it.
This is the result after sending a command to one device.
This is what happens with the other device.
It's not that the connection is wrong, because I switched to Windows and both of them worked. Also, I have to add that the adapter started to fail when I attempted to transmit information to both devices at the same time (as ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1). It was working fine before that attempt. After that, it doesn't matter if only one is connected, one always works and the other doesn't. It is recognized by the computer as ttyUSB0 but it never receives the information.
As more evidence that it's the software that is wrong and not the hardware: the LED of the failing adapter never turns on when it's supposed to be receiving data.
Edit: information about the two adapters and the microcontrollers.

The microcontrollers are both Black Pill boards (STM32F401)
/dev/ttyUSB0, but you say you want to speak to the other adapter, so that's a bit confusing to me./dev/ttyUSB0. Every time I unplug one and plug the other, the label is/dev/ttyUSB0.
