hwt901b-plugin error: Resource temporarily unavailable

Hey everyone! I'm having some trouble with my WIT IMU as I won't get it to work with signalk. I already checked the device in the calibration software of the manufacturer it's running perfectly fine. Though I have selected the right port it cannot lock on it. I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi 4 B with the latest stable of openplotter headless and all installed software is up to date. I will post the debug logs below. Thank you already for taking your time! ´´´ 2025-02-27T17:18:22.454Z signalk-hwt901b-imu-plus plugin.connect connecting to /dev/ttyUSB0:0 2025-02-27T17:15:22.458Z signalk-hwt901b-imu-plus plugin.connect.error signalk-hwt901b-imu-plus:Error: Error Resource temporarily unavailable Cannot lock port ´´´

Don’t know the specifics of your device, but this error usually means that something else has the device/port open. Only one thing can access it at a time.

Thanks a lot for help. Weren‘t able to figure out what was using that device or port. Even had the same problem on bareboat necessities OS as well. But I now changed to Ubuntu lite and got it working, installing signal k and the plugins myself

There is a way to find out which process has it open. Guessing it was some part of openplotter
