Power question
#1
Hi all

I have an open plotter instance running for over a year and covered about 600 miles as my only plotter.
The pi has an SSD for storage, and connetions to a U-blox and some USB connections (primarially a USB SDR to run as an AIS reciever)
Power is delivered direct to the IO ports with a buck converter.

I do have a small issue.

Open CPM sometimes crashes (the wait/force quit popup) when the engine is started.  Other services seem fine and browsing and stuff does not miss a beat.

I dont have any sensors connected to the engine.

I dont know if its EMF or bad power (or something else!).  Any ideas what I can do to fix this?  My usual process is to shutdown the open plotter, start the engine, and bring the plotter back - but that is a bit of a Kludge.

I also recently got a Standard Horizon VHF (with AIS reciever) that I hope to connect, but dont want to start that without fixing the other issue first.

Regards
John FJ
