Data receive request timed out! error #198

Closed domrnet closed 1 year ago

domrnet commented 1 year ago

Hi

I have been using linuxtrack fine for a few months now however I am now constantly getting the error ..

Data receive request timed out!

The trackIR light is turning on so there seems to be access to the unit. UDEV rules are in place. I am presuming some upgrade to the OS has broke something. I have rebuilt linuxtrack 3 times now and it will work again but only once or twice. After the last build it worked for a week and now the error again.

System Kubuntu 23.4 Trackir2 homemade LED point tracker

Build steps

git clone https://github.com/rfvizarra/linuxtrack

modify the file ltr_srv_master.cpp and adding #include as first line

cd linuxtrack/ aclocal autoupdate autoconf automake

./configure --prefix=/home/dom/linuxtrack --with-xplane-sdk=/home/dom/codelt/SDK/CHeaders --without-wine-libs

make -j

make install

(I am not using wine as I use this for native x-plane 11 linux)

Update. It now works again. I will see how many days it will stay up because normally it's a few days then I get the error again. What I cannot understand is why it should be intermittent?

and a few days later after making no system updates or actually using the PC again green light come one but no tracking the log shows the same timeout.

It's a hardware issue! It seems there is an actual hardware issue. I gave the unit a small tap in frustration and it started working for a bit so then I opened it up. There seems to be a bed contact between the main board then the board on which the camera is mounted, so linuxtrack is actually working fine.
