No Connection or lights when connecting to USB

Hi,


I am attempting to complete Stage 10 Step 7. When I connect the control board to the computer USB port, I don't get any lights and the port doesn't show up in Arduino. I have tried 2 different computers, I have also tried connecting directly with the blue cable into the control board, rather than through the extension cable. With the same result.

No lights showing.

Directly connected and no lights.


If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate trying them.

Remove the endstops from the board and attempt to reconnect, as there may be a short happening there. If your still unable to get any power, then disconnect everything and see if the board connects on it's own, if not then you will need a replacement board. Please contact us at info@makertech3d.com for more info.

    Servo direction

    Discussion 
    When I first installed the arm, everything worked for maybe about 30 minutes. Now, when I power it up, the arm doesn't move at all on power up. If I choose to move the arm to hotend 2, it works just fine, but if I try to move back to 1, it doesn't move. And now it is dead. So I got a servo from RC car fortunately, fixed the angle problem to changed the configuration.h, it works fine but opposite way. When I choose 1, it turned left. Is there configuration reverse code can change the servo direction?
