Does restarting a module reset the 5v supply?
« on: April 06, 2010, 11:14:11 AM »
I have an arduino running off the 5v supply of my iobridge and sending data to the serial smart board.  Today I noticed that it had stopped transmitting.  I clicked on "Restart Module" from the dashboard and it began transmitting again.

When I restarted the module, did I also restart the arduino by interrupting its power supply?  Or was my problem that the iobridge needed to be reset?  I'm trying to figure out what I need to debug.

Thanks,
Nick

The remote reset only affects the IO-204's processor.  The power is constant during a remote reset.

I'm not sure what happened in your case, but it sounds like the remote reset was the fix.

Well I'm finding I have to do a reset about once a day.

My application is writing a GET serial API request about once or twice a minute.  After a while it just stops.
