USB device not recognized

Question

Hi,

I got a proper connection to the interface board first time I tried. However, today I get an "USB device not recognized" error when trying to connect, so I can't communicate with the xbee wifi at all. I got the same error when trying to connect to the previously unused interface board as well.

I'm using windows 7 professional. Do you have any experience with this issue and can you advice me how to resolve it?

Best,
Johannes

Answer 1

The device can easily 'move' ports between computer reboots and/or moving the board to a different USb port. So perhaps yesterday it was COM6, but today it might be COM11.

Various power issues might also crop up, for example I have a 4-port USb hub which for some reason won't power things on the second port (I guess it's "burned out").

Answer 2

hi,

Is the interface board a Digi's original? .

Answer 5

From http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/ErrataStatement150320_v2_XBeeDevKitv_Final.pdf

"Some Digi XBee® development board kits were confirmed to exhibit an inability to enumerate when powered solely from a PC via the USB port. The cause for failure was found to be on the development board (see below Table 1 for affected board versions) where a small variation on the voltage regulator causes some USB circuits to not function properly. This issue can be resolved reliably by using the external power supply supplied in most of the kits. See the resolution detail below for more information. Once a product initially enumerates the product should continue to operate to specification."

Answer 6

Hello, I am continuously getting this error. USB Device Not Recognized
I went through many sites, on microsoft, hows.tech, wikihow and many. Did not help.

My USB device is not getting detected.

Let me explain in detail :

I have a connection problem. I have a Nokia N80 and use Windows 10. This is the first time I have encountered a problem with PC Suite, because it worked yesterday but my device was not recognized by the PC for 2 days. I'm not sure what happened and I tried almost everything but it still didn't work. I deleted all Nokia software and even cleaned the registry, instead of installing PC Suite again but the same problem still occurred. If this helps, I use the version of PC Suite 6.82 that I downloaded yesterday.


Do I need to install any kind of hotfix mentioned in this guide Method 2
