I have a DMX USB dongle that is very flakey.
It regularly stops working if I have the slightest glitch during my testing of MR16s, LEs, Aethers, etc.
xLights, the channel config tools, etc. will stop working. The green DMX led goes out, but the red USB light stays on.
I disconnect the USB, reconnect USB, and restart the software and I'm good for a while longer.
It doesn't appear to be a problem with how long it is ruunning, instead it seems to be temporary glitch as things get connected to the DMX bus, or get powered up or down.
DMX and the dongles are usually fairly bullet proof... so I suspect that I have a part that is borderline.
Anyone see this before? ...or have an idea on what to check or swap out?
