KBPM hang #15

Open mik3y opened 10 years ago

From @hanzov69 on Kegbot/kegbot-android#85:

Not sure if this actually belong to kegbot-android, but periodically my KBPM board will "hang". LED for flow activity remains lit, Android app shows connected controller, however flow is not registered.

Removing power from KBPM and re-connecting generally corrects this.

@hanzov69 Thanks for the report. When it "hangs", you're saying one of the TX/RX LEDs stays on? Does the CHIP led (bottom left) stop pulsing?

We saw a behavior like once this during testing, with what we later suspected to be a bad USB micro cable. Does it happen frequently enough that you'd be able to tell if a different cable ameliorated the issue?

My KBPM will hang, but I'm almost certain that it's ambient temperature related. Mine is out in a garage, and on 95+ degree days, it will kill the KBPM. It recovers with a power cycle.
