Hi, Has anyone experienced a problem with rtl_433 / rtl-sdr on a raspberry pi where the USB device becomes unreadable?
I have acurite 5-n-1 with sdr and a raspberry pi. Things have been working fine but all of a sudden the rtl_433 driver is not receiving packets so weewx is not receiving anything from it. And therefore nothing is being posted to windguru. I added a # in front of # cmd = sudo rtl_433 -M utc -F json and then did a sudo reboot. When the pi starts up i try run rtl_433 directly and it runs, but it doesn't see any sensors? Usually at this point i see the acurite sensor sending packets. rtl_433 version 20.02-61-gf82c025 branch master at 202005272108 inputs file rtl_tcp RTL-SDR Use -h for usage help and see https://triq.org/ for documentation.

Sample rate set to 250000 S/s. Tuner gain set to Auto. Tuned to 433.920MHz. [From this point onwards, no packets are being received.] The sensor has not been touched and i'm inclined to believe that it is still transmitting fine. I feel like there is something weird with the rtl-sdr driver so that is why i thought i would check if something has changed with the driver, or if anyone has had a similar problem before i start troubleshooting the hardware.
