[arm-allstar] usb reset issue

Glad to hear you found the problem but be aware that the 888 battery when installed on the radio and placed on the charger will not sustain transmit for long periods. Eventually the battery will run down. Most Lithium battery chargers charge the battery to full and then shutdown. They do not reset until the batter is removed and reinstalled.
The 888 uses nominally 3.7 volts. You can generally use a single diode drop from a 5V supply. The supply has to be stiff though. It cannot drop down under load. The 888's don't draw that much current. They are only 1W output and I think draw something like 700ma or less on TX. This would be too much for a standard computer USB connection which is generally limited to 500ma. I would also recommend some bypassing on the 888 end of the diode. A .01uf and a 100uf 10v or higher in parallel to ground.
The circuit to power the 888 is very simple. There is info and a schematic in the howto section at hamvoip.org It is NOT a good idea to run it on batteries when it is used as a node radio except when it is used in portable situations.

Hi all,
Yes, it was power. The USB cables looked good, so I removed the battery eliminator and moved to the charged battery supplied with the order. Working fine on battery.
I tried to use 3 different USB power sources... (2 other power sources, 1 2A and the Pi3 itself.) None worked on the eliminator but the battery has not failed with 30 mins of run time on it so far.

Doug, that is one of my fobs..... tested to be working when i shipped. I have seen this happen a couple times and i have found that most of the time it has to do with power to the radio for some reason. When there isnt enough power supplied to the radio it resets and makes the pi think the fob was unplugged an plugged back in. Bryan, did you order a standard battery as well as the eliminator? If so try charging the battery and using it for starters. If not then try to find a usb power supply that supplies 2A and use it. If the problem continues then i will be glad to refund you your money or replace the radio and fob for another.

Hello all,
I have a new node up and am using an 888 with modified FOB.
Just received the radio and have it online tonight, but notice after about
20 mins of use, I was missing parts of the conversation.
Radio stayed online and not was solid....not packet loss. When I logged
into the console to see what was happening, I saw this:

I get about 10 seconds of sound then a usb reset. Repeating messages.
I have performed another usb config, to check settings.. but same result.
I can hear the node and I can transmit clearly when connected.
(If I should be asking for help on a different list for this type of issue,
please inform me of that list name, thank you.)

Looks like your USB cable or USb connection between the URI and into the Pi is loose.
Best regards,

Hard to say exactly what this is. It could be a bad FOB or cable. What FOB are you using? Did you modify the FOB? You are using carrierfrom=usb in simpleusb.conf??? That is what the 888 requires. Are you getting a courtesy tone when you unkey? Have you changed anything else parameter wise? What version of the code are you using?
