    Hello everyone,

    Have any of you encountered this error message when connecting your black box?
    ("PC does not recognize USB device").
    I've been running my black box with the same Laptop for a few months, and suddenly I'm getting this error.
    Tried updating driver, Windows update and a few other things, but no luck so far. Any clue on whats causing this error?

    - Disconnect limit switch wiring and test again (incorrectly wired / damaged wiring / shorted switches, can short GND and 5v rail in limit switch connector - preventing board from running)
    - Try a different USB cable
    - Try a different PC
