I’m at a holding point for the car key mod, so I’m going to start another project. Turns out I again hit my normal snags so hopefully I can reach out to y’all and get an answer.
So now on to the question. I thought that soldering wires to the 4 pads behind the USB port would work great, but it apparently does not. basically, the windows machine says " Device Descriptor Request Failed"
Am I missing something simple?? do I need to bridge something?
was a USB hub that I put in there so I could “add” extra ports. At this point ended up being a pita so I removed it. Currently, just cut off the end of the USB mini-b and soldered the 4 wires to the back 4 pads. then plugged the other end into the pc
one thing I’d like to note for the next person that does this. Make sure you try it outside the case first lol.
Also there is no need to remove the mini-b connector on the kbr1. I think that’s what hosed me with the first one I tried. it must ground out one of the pins.
Everyone makes mistakes. The important question is how do you respond to them.
One of the questions I usually ask when interviewing people is to tell them about a mistake I made, and what I learned from it. Then ask them to tell me about one of their own mistakes.
In this case someone pointed out the mistake and you learned a good lesson from it.
