Hi,

I have a strange issue with Mobiflight, On first boot everything fires up as planned but after a short while the boards stop responding more so if I make edits to the config. If you quit Mobiflight and reopen it if you're lucky it will say that the boards need a firmware update and it'll complete the update and work normally. More often than not though when you fire up the software it seems to start initiating the boards it then appears to reset the USB bus but then reports that the boards need to have the firmware installed. The boards it reports as missing or in need of firmware are not consistent and if for example I close Mobiflight and start it again it will often reports a different board missing.

The boards have independent power so are not drawing too much power for the USB bus and I have disabled power management on the USB in case that was an issue but I'm at a loss.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Mike

Hi

Looks like there is a bug.
Your not the first user who report this. At beginning we think this is a single issue..... But now it looks like there is a deeper Problem.
If possible please join our DISCORD server and post there the same issue. Then sebastian can get in contact to you.
Maybe we will ask you to join the "beta group" to test a beta release if this fix the problem.

thanks for reporting and also thanks for future improvement !

Good Luck !

Hi,

I'll get signed up to Discord later today.

.Net is throwing event ID 1026, the details are below:

Application: MFConnector.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.IO.IOException at System.IO.Ports.InternalResources.WinIOError(Int32, System.String) at System.IO.Ports.InternalResources.WinIOError() at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.get_BytesToRead() at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.get_BytesToRead() at CommandMessenger.Serialport.SerialTransport.BytesInBuffer() at CommandMessenger.Serialport.SerialTransport.Poll(CommandMessenger.Serialport.ThreadRunStates) at CommandMessenger.Serialport.SerialTransport.ProcessQueue() at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(System.Object) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(System.Threading.ExecutionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback, System.Object, Boolean) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback, System.Object, Boolean) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback, System.Object) at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()

Hope this is useful.
