Hello, I built the cube, installed the software and drivers and made my own animations which I sent to the cube. Everything was working fine, I left the cube plugged in to a usb port on my PC while it played an animation. I shut down the PC which still leaves power on to the usb ports so the cube was playing the animation all night and all the next day.
When I got in from work the animation was still playing but, as soon as I started the PC the cube stopped and nothing I can do will get it going again.
I have tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it this is on my Windows XP PC, I have also tried it on a Windows 7 PC but it still does nothing. Can you offer any ideas or solutions please?
Did you try to plug a 9 volt battery in to see if it will work that way?
Yes tried a 9v battery this didn’t work either. I wondered if turning the PC on with the cube connected could have caused a power surge for some reason.
Maybe there is a problem with one of the diodes in the power supply section (D1, D2, D3,…)
