Hello guys,
Instead of incrementing the serial numbers like I should for new boards, I had a two board setup using all the same USB string: VID/PID/everything.
When I plugged em both in, the computer stopped recognizing them being plugged in at all! There's no trace of them in the device manager.
I incremented the serial number in the second board to 2, and the first board is 1. I unplugged them. I turned off the Windows 8 computer.
I tried again, plugging in just the first board, and it no longer recognizes it in Windows at all.
I'm sure this is a common mistake, and there must be a common answer that you guys know.
Have a good day,
James
