Virpil Button Panel does not connect #166

Hi,

I am looking for some debugging options.

The VPC device I have seems to power down if it is not connected to a computer (if I just power it over USB then the lights all come on, few seconds later it goes dark and I get the same behaviour when I connect it to the HID mapper.

I have tested the device with just a vanilla mouse and it works as expected.

Given that there is no software on the PC side that makes this VPC device work, what could be causing the (I assume) no handshake and how can I go about troubleshooting that / getting some screen output as to what is going on.

Are you using a single Pico (or something like the Adafruit Feather)? It might work with the dual Pico variant.

As for debugging I normally use a UART-to-USB adapter, though the regular build probably doesn't output anything useful.

I'm using a Adafruit, brand new one I got just for this :-) Did I choose wrong

Most devices work with all versions, but there are still some that only work with the dual RP2040 variant. Of course there's no guarantee it will work, but there's a chance.
