Hi All
I am having stability issues,
1. VNC constantly disconnects from my RPi3b+, and then I am unable to reconnect until several tries and then sometimes a reboot. I thought maybe it was VNC so I installed teamviewer (a much better remote desktop IMHO btw) but same thing, is there a solution for this
2. signalK data stops streaming... often at the same time the RPI loses the remote connection but not exclusively.
3. once I lose remote connection and signal K data now py.pilot is no longer working so I need to restart that as well... which requires me to have remote access to the RPi.... you see the dilemma here? Gets quite crazy managing all this while steering the boat...
Is anyone else experiencing connectivity issues similar to this and are there any words of advice on how to eliminate this from happening, it has basically rendered my setup unusable atm... I need to be able to trust that it will perform...
I have a Rpi3b+ running OP 1.2 Alpha with a brand new Moiteisser Hat and the latest kernel build, up to date py.pilot, I use teamviewer instead of VNC as it has shown improved connection but still not reliable
I use opencpn on a windows tablet or laptop, with the py.pilot plugin.
Sometimes once I do finally connect to OP the screen is black or frozen.
I do have heatsyncs on the rpi but maybe it is still getting too hot?
it happens most often in rough waters, typically going into the wind when the boat is heaving more extremely, but it also happens in my living-room testing with no movement all all but less frequently. I would say it happens roughly every 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
Oh and this is not a sail boat, I am using this on my 19' aluminum fishing boat to keep control of the boat while trolling.
