I was checking something out today, all electrics switced on, Flarm was working (as it did yestyerday when flying) and sending data to Lk8000. Suddenly Flarm signal was lost. Tried re-starting, re-set oom ports, nothing worked, though the Flarm display (LX LED+) seemed to indicate all OK. LK8000 cannot find Flarm.
Looking at the Runtime log, Flarm is device A, I get:

000273395] Device A ready @h14:23:48 (UTC 13:23)
[000277547] ComPort Error : read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1.

Several similar entries with later attempts.
Any ideas please, might a re-installation of the program be the answer?

BT using Soartronic BT1. Worked well for years. No fault indications on Flarm, but have installed latest firmware 7.25, though was updated to 7.24 2 months ago, re-configured as well. Have another go today, and will also try different device running LK8000.

However this morning it worked OK again, and I flew with it. Nothing changed other than Flarm update and re-config.

LK8000, on Android. Connected to Fenix vario via BT on Device A.
LX powermose connected to Fenix via cable.
No Flarm input to LK.

Anything I can do about this?
Thanks

you need to enable "PFLAx" in Fenix dataport settings :

cf. Fenix doc page 56 & 62
