Investigated the PR/issue discussed here #49.
Turns out not properly exiting a program running the PPK2 influences the next PPK2 session. Setting up the metadata the first time will throw an exception due to the garbage data (from the previous session) that comes a long with it. Physically turning the PPK2 on and off using the switch resolves this issue, but that’s inconvenient to do every time; So I’ve added a software fix here :)
To reproduce the issue and showcase the fix
Connect the PPK2 via USB
Open a terminal and run the example
This is where the
UnicodeDecodeError
would previously be triggered
