Description

Problem:
There's a scenario in which the external GNSS receiver keeps reconnecting

Scenario:

  1. Connect to an external receiver
  2. Wait a few seconds to ensure you don't lose connection
  3. Connect to that receiver again
  4. There's a connection error, and the app says it'll reconnect in a few seconds
  5. It does connect, but starts to reconnect again in a few seconds

Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed external GNSS receiver reconnection sequence in the mobile app and trace the connection handling involved. Done means reconnecting to an already connected receiver no longer enters a repeated reconnect cycle after the connection error.
