Hello there
I'm looking for a little bit of advice. I've been having a few problems with my WeatherDuino2 RX V6 in terms of stability when connected to a Raspberry Pi 3. I've found that if I leave the RX unit disconnected from the RPi it works quite happily but if I hook it up to my RPi and start Cumulus MX it might continue to work for up to 12 hours or more often than not a few minutes - it just seems to stop communicating over the USB interface. I've tried different cables and I have switched to an older version of Raspbian (Jessie) with Mono 3.2.8.
I'm getting to the point where I feel that I need to rule out the Nano as being the problem and recall reading that a diode would need to be removed from it to stop it from being powered over USB. However the photos I've seen of other Nano's here have a very slightly different component layout.
I've attached a photo of the underside of my spare Nano (the side which has the CH340G controller) and I'd be grateful if someone might be able to confirm which component it is I should be removing - I think it's the component that sits between the USB port and the end of the CH340 controller.
Kind regards
Chris
