Hello
I've installed OP V3 64 bit on a RPi 4, Settings v 3.4.4 and Serial 3.1.3. I got an usb gps dongle connected via an usb-hub, but Serial can't see it. I've tried to connect it directly to the RPi too, but Serial can't find it anyway.
I added a connection directly from Signal K, and there the gps dongle is listed and works fine when added. Still no sign of it in Serials...
(I got a keyboard, gsm-modem and a thumb drive connected to the usb hub too, and they work just fine).
Anyone got an idea of how to solve this?
Thanks
Andreas

I am interested to OP3 because it has the 64 bit OS, so it has no sense for me to try the 32 bit version.
I executed the requested steps and the result is:
wrong external apps format: unexpected EOF while parsing (<string>, line 0)
No module named 'openplotterMoitessier'
No module named 'openplotterMacarthur'
No module named 'openplotterOpenmarinebox'
No module named 'openplotterMaiana'
No module named 'openplotterSdrVhf'
No module named 'openplotterIot'
No module named 'openplotterNotifications'
No module named 'openplotterGpio'
No module named 'openplotterI2c'
No module named 'openplotterPypilot'
No module named 'openplotterAvnav'
No module named 'openplotterNetwork.serialPorts'
No module named 'openplotterDashboards.serialPorts'
as soon the command completed, inside the Serial GUI the connected devices showed up.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

That’s interesting as I’m having a similar issue. I moved my VHF off USB and onto PiCAN-M serial port. It works fine, but after a reboot, SK looses its connection. I have to open serial, refresh the alias (by selecting it and hitting "Apply") and then the connection is made and everything is fine.

I think we are mixing issues here.
b135802:
- any error in the terminal?
- Is Signal k detecting the gps when connected to through the hub?
- could you send an screenshot of the signal k serial connection settings for the detected gps?
pacman
OK, that is weird. These random effects usually mean power issues. Is your usb hub self powered?
- Try connection only 2 devices, set them in serial app and reboot several times.
- Try again with only 2 different devices.
If all your devices are detected when connected individually but it does not work when all are connected you will have the confirmation of a power issue.

What "SK looses its connection" means? does the connection disappear from SK?
