No USB connection with MB6HC / no device manager visibility

[Bowski]

Hey community,

i know that there are already a few threads like this but they do not help me in my problem or are not the same problem.

So i have a Duet3D MB6HC Board and want to follow https://docs.duet3d.com/en/How_to_guides/Getting_connected/Getting_connected_to_your_Duet and connect via usb. But i do not see the board in the device manager and can not install the driver.

I already tried to different PCs with Linux and Windows and three different cables. The LEDs are correct.

So maybe someone has an idea for me

Thanks
Bowski

@bowski you don't really need to connect via USB.
Just make sure you have a config on your sd card that contains M552 S1 P0.0.0.0. At this stage it doesn't need to contain anything else.
You'll also need the www folder populated with DWC (DuetWebControl).
You'll then be able to access the board over ethernet

The LEDs are correct.

Is the red STATUS or DIAG LED flashing once per second; or lit very dimly and not flashing; or neither?

@jay_s_uk Thank You! Now I am connected and already load my configuration. In all getting started guides i found the first point to connect via usb. Your answer was greatful

@dc42 the STATUS LED was flashing once a second.
