Venus OS is diconnecting USB Devices over time - DIY Cables

Hey

Using RPi4 and Venus OS for collecting Data. Latest beta: V3.40-2

Using DIY Cables, made with a ADUM 1201 Isolator.

75/15 and 500A Smartshunt have to be connected. If im connecting them seperate - they work. if im connecting both, they are loosing connection over time - and i have to reboot the Venus OS.


I read some topics - and the most stated, i have to use the original victron cable. but they have the same issue. so i spend 70 bucks for nothing....


i tried another RPi 4 (and 5) - same issue - the both devices gets disconnected over time.


i switched the position of the USB ports, place of the RPi, cable ways - everything.


nothing helps.


what can i do?
