I have a SICK LMS200 which I'm connecting using a serial->USB converter. After I plug it in, I can start up the node and get scan data with no problem. However, if I kill the node then try to restart it, it can't communicate with the SICK. The only ways I've found to fix this is unplugging and replugging the USB adaptor or rebooting the computer - both far from optimal. Does anyone know what might be going on, or what I can do to fix this?

Thanks,
