Did you check the fuse on the M4-Atx board?

As have I. I have the software in-hand and I wired up the cable with the ORIGINAL spec last night and it worked, but today it did not even recognize the device. I don't understand why it would recognize it once, and actually work to change some parameters...but not even recognize it today.

I suppose I will rewire it. Ugh.

So do I wire both pins 1&2 to the black ground of the USB cable?

*EDIT*
I did have it wired up correctly (2nd version). The numbers were just labeled different. So now I can't figure out why my PC would talk to the PSU yesterday, but not today.

I just connected Pin 2 to the GND Pin for the USB cable as Pin 1 & 2 are connected together on M4 anyway. You could connect 1 & 2 together to the Gnd of the USB cable, makes no difference.

lol I have no idea why it would talk before, unless you had switched around the cable or something, no idea - as long as it is working now

Whats the software like for the M4?

I did have the wiring correct. Laci just sent me a diagram, but instead of moving descriptions around, he changed the numbers of the pins, so it was correct.

The M4 software is nice...there are a lot of parameters available for change.

Not sure if it was a bug or what...but I just unplugged the USB cable, plugged it into a different port, and it worked again.

Is this software going to be available to everyone soon?

I have posted some screen shots of the software over in the store section. We will be adding the USB cable to the store soon.
