DIY AstroEQ / Re: Board doesnt work, no usb connection

IT WORKED! I just reheated the solder joints on the PIC and added a bit of solder on a few on them and now it gets recognized and i can configure it. Thank you for you help!

First of all thank you for your effort and testing all you pcb and ic.

I have already tried on my laptop and also bought a new cable, but still same thing. Now it just gets recognized a little faster but still unkown USB device. But i have noticed a strange behaviour: Most of time it only gets recognized when i press onto the PIC. I removed it and it looked fine. I also noticed that somtimes the status LED is solid and before that if flashes (sometimes dont remember, now it just did it), even when there is no usb cable attached. Maybe its always on, i made a terrible job with the LED soldering.

The power source is stable, i used 2 different one, same problem with both.
I havent found any shorts and i double and triple checked the problem zones you found.
For some reason i cant measure my capacitors, i get BS reading if any. It changes every second or every milimeter i move my probe, the resistors are all good i could check them just not the capacitors.

Here i have an error code from the program "usbtreeview". Maybe this can help

Wierd. Just as i was about to send the reply with further details but then i thought i test it another time and suddenly it worked but windows didnt recognize the driver so i unplugged it and installed the driver and now it wont recognize it again. No reaction at all. I attached the pictures maybe you can find a mistake, i will check it another time tomorrow.

Update: now the board gets recongized most of the time but only after ca. 30 sec and then it is a unknown USB device and the LED on the board is solid.

I just built my diy Astro EQ based on the PCB and ICs i ordere from this site. The power LED does light up but the others dont when connected to PC. I checked all connections on the board for shorts and all polarities are also right. I havent connected the motors because i only found 1 suiting cable but i dont think this should be a problem.
