Can't get life from glasses driver
I'm having the same issue as this person (viewtopic.php?p=937407&hilit=chg+led#p937407). Dim orange light coming from 'CHG' led and no cadence of double clicking will cause the status led to come on or my computer to recognize it. I've tried 2 macs and 1 win10 pc so far. Ive tried 5 cables (2 usb a-c and 3 c-c 3.1/3.2), all of which are data cables that I use regularly for projects. Ive reread the instuctions several times and cannot find an error. Is this board defective?

Went through that process on the pc and mac. Neither will show the port it's connected to. Same thing, dim light on 'CHG' led and double clicking the reset does nothing. What else should I try?

Re: Can't get life from glasses driver
Is this with just the driver board with nothing else connected?

Yep, usbc is the only thing connected to the board. Even unplugged my peripherals from the laptops just to see if there was an issue stemming from that.

OK, let's try a new board.
Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread, your order number, and request the replacement of one LED Glasses Driver board.

For anyone in the future looking for a resolution to this, the new board worked first try. I'm not sure what is wrong from the other one, but it was definitely faulty. If I have some spare time after society collapses I'll take a deeper look. Thanks @Dave for the help.
