I've been using a Rsp Pi with Venus to watch solar output on VRM. In the past, unpredictably, either the MPPT or BMV signals would be lost and I'd have to reboot the Cerbo/Rsp. The problem has been often attributed to cheap Amazon, non-Victron, USB direct cables.
I wrapped a piece of aluminum foil around the the USB "backshell" area of the connectors and so far, for over 2 weeks, not once have the signals dropped from the MPPT or BMV.
Maybe the simple "shielding" solves the problem?
