Megadesk keeps restarting #88

Closed HerrLevin closed 2 years ago

HerrLevin commented 2 years ago

I've purchased one of your boards on tindie but I can't get it to work.

As soon as i connect it to the desk, it keeps restarting (it always repeats the three-tone-chime). When I press the down key, I can get into the key-testing-mode.

I've already tried all troubleshooting-steps without any success. There also seems to be no voltage drop once I plug it in. Supply voltage keeps a stable 30V and the data line is around 12V once the board is plugged in.

Is there something else I can do?

The beeping-loop means it's having trouble on LIN talking to the motors.

Can you check your cable and the 3 pins for continuity? And check the black end of the connector that all 3 metal crimps are securely pushed and clicked in place?

The pins have perfect connection but I've noticed that the order of the single wires changes from red->yellow->black on the board-side to red->black->yellow on the desk-side. Is this intentional? (I have Megadesk v7)

gcormier commented 2 years ago

Hmm that is odd. Black is ground and should be the center pin on both. You can reorder the board side by removing and swapping the pins
