Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my QuickFeather board and I'm hoping someone can offer some guidance. The board is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting when plugged into my computer via USB. This happens intermittently, but frequently enough to make development incredibly difficult.
Here's what I've tried so far:
* **Different USB cables:** I've tried multiple USB cables, including known working ones.
* **Different USB ports:** I've tested all the USB ports on my computer, including USB 2.0 and 3.0.
* **Driver reinstall:** I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the QuickFeather board.
* **Different computer:** I've tried connecting the board to a different computer, but the issue persists.
* **Power supply:** I've made sure the USB port is providing enough power.
My setup:
* **Board:** QuickFeather (EOS S3)
* **OS:** Windows 10
* **IDE:** Eclipse (using QORC SDK)
I'm not sure what else to try. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions on how to diagnose or fix it? Could it be a hardware problem with the board itself?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!.

Use a different USB port — some ports (especially on the front panel) deliver less power or have weaker connections. smash karts

Hey, that sounds super annoying! Constant disconnects are a nightmare for development. Since you've tried so much already, it does sound like it could be a hardware issue, unfortunately. Before writing it off, maybe try a really simple test program, something that just blinks an LED.

The sporadic nature of this issue often leads to moments of uncertainty and irritation. I once faced a similar dilemma with my external hard drive that would randomly disconnect, leaving me scrambling to recover files. Thankfully, the Slice Master recommended checking the cable connections, which ultimately resolved the issue.

Okay, a constantly disconnecting QuickFeather? Sounds like a digital nightmare! Maybe it's a power surge masquerading as a bad connection. Or perhaps some gremlins are messing with your USB controller.

Ugh, this sounds familiar. It's a digital ghost in the machine! My USB devices doing the disappearing act, you say? Like a chameleon changing colors, things were there, then gone. This reminds me of a nightmare I had while doing some important design works. Back then the devices kept doing this randomly, maybe it was a power surge, or maybe it was some software conflict – I still don't know exactly. But boy, was that stressful. I ended up losing a ton of progress so I just went into Slither io to blow off some steam.
