The quadstick restarting is due to a watchdog timer that will reboot the CPU if the main program locks up for any reason.  Have you made any configuration changes?

Send in a debugging report with QMP:
  1. Plug the Quadstick into the PC
  2. Start QMP
  3. Wait 20 seconds
  4. Click in the Transcript pane at the bottom of the window.
  5. Press F1 key
  6. Answer prompt to send in the debugging report
  7. EXIT QMP.  Ignore any error message.
  8. Send me an email so I know to go look for the report.

I don't see anything off the bat that would cause a problem.

The zupppp config might be causing trouble.  It is up against the limit for the number of mode sheets.  There are rows that have blank outputs names, which is not allowed, and at least one input that is just a number, not a valid input.

sheet "drive" cell A28 is blank.
sheet "copy of drive" cell C22 has the number 3, not a valid input.   Same thing on the sheet "copy of copy of drive"

The sheet "copy of copy of copy of copy of mouse2" row 15 has both blank input and output cells.

I don't know what the effect of these really long mode sheet names would be, or all of the missing cell values.   If the program that loops through the configuration interprets one of these things incorrectly, it could cause conceivably cause a lock up.

Does the problem only happen when this configuration has been running?  If you load one of the configuration files that came with the quadstick and then switch back to the default.csv, do you see the problem then?

Yes, sometimes have to unplug and plug it back in again multiple times to get it to work properly. I have to do that as many as 4 times in a row. Sometimes I notice it helps if I unplug the data mirroring connection from my for my phone it. Try to make sure you don't have any other USB device connected during the Quadstick startup. During that process don't do anything. After Quadstick startup try connecting your other USB devices. I use magnet connectors with a USB-B to USB-C adapter so the USB connector in the Quadstick don't wear out.
