Lost device // HID device still there

[cm0n]

Hello all,
I have a problem after some time / switching cycles not always the same.
But in the region of 10 to 20 switching. I lose the devices connection.
I get this message:

root@ubuntu:~# usbrelay 
ioctl (GFEATURE): Protocol error
hid_get_feature_report
: Protocol error

The HID device but is visible, I have also tried it with older version of usbrelay, same behavior.

What more do you need to help me?
I had before this realy with 4 ports now I have it with 8 ports and it makes problems the one with 4 runs without problems, but in a other machine.

usbrelay: 1.1.2-8-g88844b073d-dirty

root@ubuntu:/home/aaronia# usbrelay -e 1

I have to disconnect it completely from the power.
Since this is currently from my wiring only possible when I turn off the computer and pull the power plug. After that it runs again for a short time.

many greetings

I suspect hardware somewhere. Can you try a different cable, port etc. Darryl

Look at 'building the code' section of the README.md There is the ability to use hidapi-libusb in the build process. make HIDAPI=libusb I haven't had to use this for a very long time, but it might be worth a try if the hardware seems Ok. Darryl

[cm0n]

Yes I have already used both libs, same behavior.
I have also tried all 4 USB ports.
Also all 3 relay cards I have show the same behavior.

So is this rather an error from the card itself?

In a previous project with the version with 4 I had no problems.
Is there any way to debug it more to find out why it happens?

[cm0n]

Some more information I could collect, maybe it can help?

As what I can see, the drive breaks somewhere?!

That indicates it is something in the hid stack if is not just affecting usbrelay. I use Fedora and raspian without issues, perhaps try a VM with newer/older version of Ubuntu or Fedora??

I just tested a relay switching from off to on 100 times without a problem on Fedora 37.

[cm0n]

Hi,
I have now tried it on a ubuntu 18.04. The first system was an ubuntu 14.04.
Unfortunately the same behavior.
No matter against which lib I compile.

Is there a way to debug it better?
Is this a board error or is it somewhere else?
All three of the boards that I have show the same misbehaviour, unfortunately.

[darrylb123]

Is it the same computer? I'm not sure how to help from here.

I know, old topic, but I seem to have the same problem. Sometimes the relay-card (8 ports) disappears, and I have to reboot the computer to get it back.

This is on a raspberry pi.

Nothing really to do with usbrelay, but I'd check the dmesg log to see if it registered as removed sometime previously, also lsusb to see if the kernel can see it. Does an unplug/replug also fix it? Most times I have come across this, it's a dodgy cable.

Thanks, I'll see if I can catch it again, and find out what happens. I couldn't try unplugging the cable as the raspberry pi is on a remote location. Rebooting fixed the problem though.

[liebowa]

I know this is a a very old thread, but I face this issue also. I've changed cables, tried different ports, etc. I cannot cause this to happen on demand - it's very random.

When this happens, I've tried to unplug/replug the board but to no avail. I installed an USB-Resetter tool and tried all of it's options (reset just the device, reset the entire hub, etc.), but it does not come back (show back up as a device) until a full reboot.

I'm 100% certain this is not an issue with this software, but also trying to find out from anyone if there are any other thoughts on how to reset the USB hub.

Thanks in advance.
