I have seen a similar problem. I connected nmea data via an rs422 to usb converter and OTG usb cable. When the tinypilot first starts up it shows wind mode available and produces an nmea output stream over wi-fi which will display in opencpn. After a while for unknown reason the WiFi stream can go dead. Reloading opencpn or reconnecting WiFi doesn't help. Restarting the tinypilot will resume the WiFi feed at or least for a while.
Second issue is I never get any output on the usb serial adapter although it does receive the input..
I tried SSH in, stop pypilot and connect to the ttyUSB0 device in with the "screen" command and I was able to both send and receive so there's no problem with the hardware or connections, pypilot is not sending nmea data on USB.
I have not had time to apply the latest updates yet, my pypilot install is a couple of months old.
