I checked but... Still a Question for Randy - Wiz49 - No ID
<< < (3/5) > >>
DaveMMR:
I remember reading the device number on-screen when I attached it (probably in the help bubble by the system tray when you attach a new device).

Randy would not want to pay to produce 4 different pcbs with different ID#s screened onto them, the costs would be conisderably higher.  Using a permanent marker to put the # onto he USB port's metal housing could work, but none of mine have this.

At any rate, it's easy to check- plug one (not both) in, and go to the control panel, look under "gamepads and joysticks" or whatever it is, and the ID# is listed right there.  Now is the time to label it if you want.  Then plug the 2nd one in, and watch it appear in the device manager and note it's ID# as well.
RandyT:

Thanks for fielding that one, Kremmit.

I have been marking the ID numbers on the USB connectors as has been stated.  Evidently, a couple must have gone out without being marked.

However, there is a way to tell.  :)

If you look at the label on the chip, you will see a dot in one of the corners;

Device 1 = No Dot
Device 2 = Green Dot
Device 3 = Orange Dot
Device 4 = Blue Dot

If I can find the space, I'll see about putting a device number checkbox on the next batch of boards.

If you are the individual that started having problems after removing his trackball for repair, I would look at your wiring.  Chances are high that something in your wiring is shorting.  If that isn't you, my apologies. It's difficult to connect screen names with real ones sometimes.

MYX:
I'll check for it tonight. Thanks Randy.
