Please help. My base was working perfectly. I have the system set to reboot every Sunday. This morning it’s down and I can’t get any green bars in the status window. No RTK anywhere… Thanks a mil

I’m running a spark fun f9p with a Ubuntu host PC

And now it’s going again. Not sure what I did. Might be my base hardware…

I’m curious why you have your system to reboot once a week?

My raspberry Pi base only restart at power outage!  
The restart is where it can go wrong sometimes as a service could not start correctly. From my experience, if it starts correctly it will run ok.

It ran all summer for me until a couple weeks ago it went down. I restarted the PC and it worked right away. I read about some buffer eventually filling up so thought maybe a regular reboot would be good. Not so sure now

Same here, we have bases running for almost a year without reboot

I’m in the reboot camp, I find if I don’t my ntrip mount points pretty quickly stop working, and its a PITA to realize this as you’re sitting in the sprayer trying to start the job. A restart has always fixed this. Thats on a Pi 4B.
