Not recognized by computer after soldered into project
« on: May 06, 2018, 10:03:18 pm »
So, I integrated a digispark into a project. I'm using it as a macro keypad, and I soldered the input lead of a button to each of the pins. I'm using all 6 pins as inputs. I think this might be my problem, but I'm not sure. I tested this beforehand, and it worked on pin 0. However, when I plug it in now, windows says it's not recognized. When I try to flash it it can't find the board. I don't know if it helps, but the led on the board is also lit up when I plug it in.

I know the board worked before soldering it into the project, but it isn't recognized now. I'm using a usb extension cable, so it isn't the connector.

Do you guys have any idea of what I can do to fix my problems?

Thanks.

The issue here is that you are trying to have pins 3 and 4 do double-duty. Those pins are used for the USB, and normally you cannot use them for anything else while using them for USB (as in emulating the keyboard.)

Take a look at the basics page (http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/basics) for more tips. This one is number 3 in the differences section.
