HI Steve,
Woke up to find my station had been 'flatlining' and went to see what the Pi was showing was a bunch of errors (see Diag folder), Via WU it stopped around 3:30PM 28th June (Adelaide, Australia, CST Time)
Could this be the fact its not plugged into the USB port on the Pi itself as I have the Pro 2 connected to a USB Hub that is powered via a powerpoint cable?

Re: Serial port failure
Something caused the connection to the station to be lost - MX does not currently recover from this. Using a powered hub is probably better than connecting directly to the Pi USB ports, so I don't know what to suggest regarding the problem. Could there have been an outage of the power to the hub?
I see that you are getting error messages regarding WU uploads, but Mono isn't giving any useful information to help diagnose that.
In common with some others, you have a lot of error messages regarding the realtimegauges.txt upload, because of a mistake I made in the latest build, making the upload turned on by default. Anyone not uploading to a web site will get the error messages, it would be a good idea to turn off the realtimegauges settings on the internet settings screen.

Re: Serial port failure
Mine still does this with USB too. Really annoying in that it either keeps uploading the same value to WU so I never know it's down to reboot it. Only time I notice is when WU says I haven't reported in a while or CWOP says my data is WAY off. It would be great if there was a way to either stop uploading or restart it automatically.

Re: Serial port failure
I think someone has written a script to restart MX when data input stops, but I can't remember the details.
