USB hubs and controls not working

Post by Zacarycaine » Tue Dec 13, 2016 1:09 am

I'm in the final part of my build and I wired everything together to test out the usb hubs before i mount anything.

I tried plugging my keyboard into each one and none of them worked.

Also the main controls didn't work either, how am i supposed to get those up and running?

I am using Helders new AIO 2.0 board.

If you can, provide us with pictures of your wiring from the AIO to the Pi. Please!

I'm also having this issue.

Wiring is important and also this has been answered a million times in my support thread in my signature.

i'm sorry you have troubles with your build. hope you get it worked out.

but I'm way more sorry that both the forum search and google apparently don't exist anymore.

It exists, and i checked both. Found Helder's support thread, went through every step.

Got the the controls to be recognized, froze halfway through setting up and cant get it to be recognized again.

USB hubs still not working, for some reason when I wiggle one of my usb ports it shuts down the pi and the pi restarts.

Checked all over these forums and couldn't find my answer.

My bad for asking for help on a forum site where i was told I could ask for help haha.

But anyways, I don't know what the deal is with my USB hubs not being recognized and shutting down my pi.

And as far as the controls go, like i said it got it working one time so my wiring is maybe just a little off. Maybe a short somewhere.

I'll provide pictures as soon as i can. Any help is appreciated.

If you wiggle it and it shuts off you have a short or loose/cold solder joint. Post pictures and plenty of them because people will post 1 picture and expect us to help fix the problem when it's often in other parts of the wiring.

Any help is appreciated.

More pictures.
It's also worth mentioning that I used the exact wiring guide that you posted up.

Make sure the 4 pins on the USB plug that you have bent at 90 degrees are not touching the USB casing. That could be the short that may be causing your problem.
