USB connect not working
« on: January 17, 2025, 02:03:35 am »
For years this has worked fine, now suddenly today it no longer seems to connect - I dont see the red and green bars in the UI. I hear the connect bleeps, and something indicates USB is connected. But it is not communicating.
I tried two different computers and two different planes and two different USB cables. None now work.
I plugged in USB drives and they work fine.
Has there been some change in antivirus that might stop this?
Norton on my main machine complained about the code, but I added an exception and now its allowed. But it still doesnt communicate. Any tips to track this down?
??

I "fixed" it. It WAS the Norton 360 antivirus software. Apparently a new release blocked librepilot. I manually set an app permission for the librepilot .exe file which changed 3 settings - Ransomware protection - do nothing, Safecam - allowed, browser data protection - do nothing. If you set all 3 to do nothing, it doesnt seem to want to save the rule!! But this worked - PROVIDED - that i plus in the USB FIRST, let it go through its connection beeps, THEN start librepilot.
Whew!!
