Thanks for the fix. I've been dicking around for an hour unable to figure out the problem. They should put a big red sticker on the thing to ENABLE USB POWER!!!!! OMG!!! Unbelievable.
It works fine. Thank you! But I'm desperate, why do I have to go to the trouble of soldering this part to get it to work? Is it a bad design of the board?
Very helpfull, I'v bought boards that came out faulty before (used for parts), but maybe a repair route would have be a lot more economical, (parts are cheap right?).
My project uses 40 of these USB shield. after solder the jumpers 5,5,3, then still about 20% will not work. no power gets to the USB port. HOWEVER I DISCOVERED A FIX. it works for me to simply BEND UP the USB PORT. I should be parallel to the board. Also when you insert the USB cable, then wiggle it and pull it out slightly. I have gotten all my Shields to work using this. I highly recommend you to purchase a USB voltage meter. with poor connection you can get only 2.6 v and it fools you.
@Drxxx i get 3v on the usb port. it's able to power a low quality office mouse but im getting no data transfer, the pc wont respond to the mouse movement. What could i do if your able to help.
@@Drxxx I bought a USB host shield and soldered it myself. There was no power at all I tried to charge my phone with it, plug in my mouse, etc. Then I bought a pre-soldered one from ebay and the solder looks good. No power either. Trying this on an Arduino Leonardo
