Adabox MacroPad not working

Post by axiomatic »

It won't come on most times. Tested with multiple known good USB cables. Sometimes it will come on but its not consistent.

Is there something I can do to troubleshoot this?

Can you provide more info on what you mean but not coming on? What code is being run? What is the USB cable being plugged in to?

By not coming on I mean there's no activity on the LCD or LEDs.

I found that after plugging in the MacroPad to my laptop, if I press the reset button the demo code loads.

Is this normal or should the demo code load automatically?

That sounds generally normal. The loaded firmware code will run automatically when powered on or after a reset.

So you're seeing the information printed on the OLED display, the NeoPixels behind the keys light up, etc.?
