Basically the title, whenever I plug a USB device that is not a keyboard or mouse into the uConsole the keyboard and trackball stops working.
The uConsole itself keeps working, so if I plug an external keyboard I can use it but I can’t re-enable the onboard keyboard/trackball.
this is the measure when connecting a 32gb usb
this is before connecting a usb device
Its a brand new uConsole.
Any tips or suggestions?
uconsole has power limits on usb (usb 2.0 thing), and keyboard internally is an usb device so it doesn’t survive power consumption spike
usb hub with active power should solve it
Hi!
but even for a pendrive? This also happened with an alfa network card.
I’m using rex’s version of Parrot OS.
I’ve found that removing the faceplate so that the keyboard power cycles then screwing it back down gets your keyboard & trackball functioning again without requiring a reboot.
I’ll have to try the usb_max_current_enable setting, but adding over_voltage=6 to the /boot/config.txt helps too.
The usb_max_current_enable setting did not help unfortunately. It’s weird, but the usb hub module from @Radiation_Joe I use doesn’t have any problems. It’s only when plugging into the stock usb a port does the keyboard and mouse go out.
strange…
only keyboard and mouse? if there is other thing connected?
Yours works fine as far as I can tell. It’s the stock usb port that knocks out the keyboard and mouse. And I think it’s only the keyboard and mouse that go offline. I haven’t tried plugging anything into your hub and seeing if they go offline when I use the stock port.
