Hi,

Thanks for all the great work!

It would be major robustness improvement if the USB connection with the mount would automatically try to reconnect istead of continously log this error:

"[ERROR] Write Command Error: Write Error: Input/output error "

I own an iOptron CEM40 that almost every night loses the USB connection.
For some reason it usually happens after a "big" slew, e.g. a meridian flip or when parking the mount.
I've for 3 years asked iOptron support for help but they continously push it back to me, asking me to replace cables, hubs, power supplies etc with no luck.

The mount is not dead when this happens, because I can move it with the hand controller, so it seems USB interface related.
I can also manually diconnect/connect from the INDI Control Panel and then it works again.

What normally happens is that when I wake up in the morning there are no photos after a meridian flip.
Instead of received a lot of images, the UI is really sluggy, probably due to filling up the memory with thousands of log statements?

So an automatic diconnect/connect would really, really help!

Cheers,
// Åke
