FM80 on Hub port 10 and Optics weirdness

Post by raysun »

My system has a minor, persistent issue with stats reporting for an FM80 plugged into Hub port 10. The daily Peak Charge Current and Peak Power, which are reset to 0 at midnight on the FM80, continue to display through the next day in OpticsRE. Absorb Time and Float Time used to behave this way as well, but now only show 0 at all times.
There are two FM80s, both display normally when plugged into any port other than 10, both display abnormally when plugged into Port 10.

Stats at 7:00AM, showing yesterday's Peak power and current.

Has anyone else noticed this?

So is this what you do in retirement. :grin:

I only have one system with an FM80 on port 10 and currently it looks like that Starlink connection is down, so I can not verify.
