Disappearing port #73

Hi

I have some problems with the software. I am using an Arduino nano and a FlySky FS-IA6B receiver. I did the setup following the Linux tutorial, that part seems to be fine. The wiring seems to be fine, did it based on the video tutorial. However I am using Linux, Pop-os. I select the port and the protocol, click connect, it says Serial port timeout, because no radio connection no data, that is clear. The problem is: as soon as I power on the transmitter it binds, starts sending data (the TX led lights up on the Arduino) and the device from /dev/ disappears, and the software says that it is missing. After I turn off the transmitter it detects again, and seems to be fine.

Any idea on this weird problem?

Dmesg says:

I am not really an expert, it is possible that I did something wrong.

Are you sure you have the wiring right? Another possibility is that there could be some problem with the UART chip on the Arduino. Do you have another one to test with?

The wiring has been checked multiple times, seems to be fine based on the video tutorial. The arduino is brand new, the uploading & serial monitor works fine, probably the UART chip is functional.

Oops my fault, didn't mean to do that. Github noob here...

Does the disconnect happen only while the board is connected in vjsf? Or dmesg reports disconnect even if the serial port is not opened by anything?
