Periodic Signal K sensor freeze
#1
I reinstalled the entire system from scratch to solve a periodic freeze issue that previously affected both BME280 and ICM-20948 data streams.
However, the issue is still present even on a completely minimal setup.

System:
  • Raspberry Pi 4
  • Latest OpenPlotter (Bookworm based)
  • Signal K server
  • Node.js v22.22.2
  • Only I2C, serial port and serial console enabled
  • Only one sensor configured: BME280
  • No pypilot installed/configured
  • No external integrations running
  • No additional Signal K plugins enabled (default plugins only)
I also completely disabled the Signal K set-system-time plugin because in the past it caused periodic spikes/problems on ICM-20948 sensor data.

The BME280 data periodically freezes for ~30 seconds and then resumes automatically.
The freeze repeats continuously with a very regular pattern.
During the freeze:
  • Signal K timestamps and values stop updating
  • Data resumes automatically after ~30 seconds
  • No crashes or visible errors appear in Signal K logs
Since this also happens on a completely fresh minimal installation with only a single BME280 sensor, the issue does not appear related to plugins, integrations or previous configuration state.

I enabled debug mode, opened a terminal and manually started `openplotter-i2c-read`.
But it crashes with an `IndexError` because it expects `sys.argv[1]`. Tried running openplotter-i2c-read 0 - no output.

Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated.
