Hi. I'm having some issues with the uDMX node. Every now and again it will stop working with the following error.

10 Aug 08:38:13 - [error] [udmx:98fdcba301d48ecc] TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'open')

It requires a full reboot of my pi to get it up and running again. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Sounds like the dmx module is not staying powered and registered to the usb bus. I would try a different/stronger power supply first as this is often the cause of intermittent issues.

Hey smadds. That sounds likely as I recently added a new USB device. I'm thinking that this additional device has resulted in a tipping point power wise. I've unplugged it for now and will see how it goes. Much appreciated.
