COM port strange behavior #109

Open Corsair-63 opened 5 months ago

Corsair-63 commented 5 months ago

W11 ARM64 O 5.9.0,

FTB I have two connections to autopilot just for testing autorouting: 1 - direct to multiplexer (Miniplex 3E N2K) via SeaTalk 2 - direct via COM port to PC (COM7 4800,n,1,p), USB adaptor. set-up priority as preferred multiplexer and spare COM port.

sometimes happens very strange thing: started computer and everything fine, no USB problem, etc. started O, and displayed O.S. message that USB device not recognised (the one for COM7) checked in settings - connections - NMEA debug window and receiving the proper data from COM7 (is that sorcery?) if I close O I could not access to COM7 (using Termite or another software using that COM port, of course not simultaneously) until I restart computer.

**also noticed when this happens, I have watchdog running with two wind alarm as apparent and T-R, in normal session both then work but when this happens the wind alarm T-R shows N/A.

for now, it has happened not more than four times in one month time.**
