And now, for some reason i've done multiple restarts and it weewx connects via usb every time. The only thing i've done differently is remove the keyboard and mouse from the USB ports, so i guess that was confusing the driver because there were multiple USB devices plugged in?
Seeing as the display is staying on during the reboot i don't think this problem is the case of the USB Mode resetting. It's almost like the weewx driver is not able to find the usb device in some instances. Thanks, Sean Jahnig m. +97150 475 4234 e.
