Vint hub not connecting to Rasberry Pi

[mwulff2125]

I am running rasbian and have a powered usb 2.0 hub and I am trying to connect to a vint hub HUB0000_0. I have a STC1000_0 stepper controller connected to the vint hub and a stepper connected on the controller. I can pull this up in the Windows GUI and everything works fine. When I connect this to the raspi with the hub and run HelloWorld to see if it connects I cannot get anything to show up. Any help would be appreciated.

The USB ports on the Raspberry Pi usually don't have enough power to run devices like Phidgets. Try using an externally powered USB hub and see if it solves the issue.

It is an externally powered hub but still won't show up on the HelloWorld program

[mparadis]

Which HelloWorld program is it? Can you paste it here?

[mwulff2125]

It is the sample program from the website. https://www.phidgets.com/docs/OS_-_Linu ... _Downloads
When I run it it is just waiting for things to connect and the state does not change if I plug or unplug anything.
It just says plug and unplug
Press Enter to end anytime...

Try running as root

A comment for forums readers; newer Raspberry PIs generally have good USB voltage - and the VINT Hub is really unlikely to have power issues on -any- Raspberry PI.
