No Power To Mouse #7

Closed oXL0C0Xo closed 5 months ago

oXL0C0Xo commented 5 months ago

Hoping that someone here can help me. When plugging in a USB optical mouse (IntelliMouse Optical USB, miscellaneous Dell, miscellaneous logitech mice), I haven't been able to get the laser on the mouse to light up no matter what I try.

I have tried different USB cables (about 15 of them), also powering the device via the 5v header straight from the power supply, nothing seems to get this mouse to light up.

I can access the serial configuration tool, so I know that it is connected. If I plug the mouse into my personal computer, it powers right up and I can use it, so I know that it is good.

I have used a max232, and the 5v bridge is in place. It should also be noted that cutemouse detects the mouse on the correct com port.

The strange thing is that this is the second adapter I have built, as I was having the same issue with the previously built one.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you can see the traces around j are different and theres a little bodge wire but other then that, it's the same as the PCB posted in the repo
