    @tom I'm using WSL Ubuntu to connect to it. It was working well previously.

    @antenna-eng It's possible that the board is booting into a mode that WSL doesn't recognize. I haven't used WSL myself, I would recommend booting a linux machine or dual booting your machine if possible.

    Does the windows device manager recognize it at all? It may be enumerating as a different device type depending on the state of the board

      Hi @antenna-eng
      I've tried WSL for years internally with no luck.. it just does not work!!
      It's worth buying a $300 Ubuntu laptop and know your issues may all be solved!!! I just searched AMZN and found some for less than $250!!!

          @Vinny I also have other Linux systems (Ubuntu, Redhat, etc) that I can use. We were using WSL to connect to it and it was working fine. We can try some other systems to rule out that issue.

            @Vinny I was reminded after my post that our team did try the system on Ubuntu. Just to check, one of my team members just tried it on a Ubuntu system we have and it doesn't show up as a USB device. What do you think we should do?

              Hi @antenna-eng ,
              @tom has you covered, I was just expressing my experiences with WSL in the hopes it helped.
              Thanks!

                  The VOXL board isn't appearing when connected. I'm just seeing the system USB bus devices and things like the mouse/keyboard. Below is the output of lsusb

                    @antenna-eng Can you run sudo dmesg -wH and then plug in the board to your machine and see if it's enumerating?

                      @tom Using the dmesg -wH command you provided, I can't see the device enumerating after plugging it in. I also tried different USB cables just to check. Still no change.

                          @tom I connected it to the battery. I made sure the battery was charged.

                            @antenna-eng What hardware do you have connected to the VOXL 2 board? Cameras etc.
