I made a boat with pixhawk 2.4.8 which connected with USB on a mini PC running windows. On windows i ran a mavproxy command with usb comport as input and udp as output to a ip and port.

All system works for 10 min and after some times communication getting stopped and when i run the mavproxy command again it shows link1 is down.

I need to disable and enable the comport inorder to connect again, or restart the miniPC.

I cant able to find whats the issue. Tried changing the comport and updated the drivers… Still same.

Anyone had any problems like this before?

I’m using Windows 10 pro in mini pc.

Connect it like this:

mini PC USB ↔ pixhawk Telem1

instead of:

mini PC USB ↔ pixhawk USB

With ttl converter?

How can i connect USB pins directly to UART?

Yes, you will need a USB to 3V3 converter like FTDI or similar.
