The QT app on windows is not consistently connecting to the keyboard and mouse, and i do not know why. I would like to debug this further but do not know how to get the QT project files set up on my system to change the source code around..
Staff: please reply here. When resolved, consider linking back on Discord to drive users to the forum.

If someone could help; that would be great! I would love to change a few things around and commit some changes via git

Are you using the official toolkit cables or your own? Try using a USB 2.0 port on the host computer, I think there is a issue with USB C to USB C connections

yeah. OEM cables included in kit. tried also using aftermarket ones etc. also tried using HID reset firmware upgrade etc

it connects alright (host to device), but for some reason the HID function will just stop working?

I have issues with this too. I think it is something with Windows itself as leaving the app open the serial device will disconnect

sometimes it’s fixed after a reboot, sometimes not

i will try rebooting, then connect host side, then target side

Its not perfect, but see if you see the disconnecting there.

It won’t show anything but it would simply just stop working

i think when the program segfaults, or crashes, it won’t release the COM port
Originally posted by Kashall on Discord, 23 March 2025.
Yeah okay there’s something weird going on there then

when closing the program normally it seems to release the COM port properly. i think a “try except” block is needed then to release the com port even if the program crashes or something goes terribly wrong

program crash causes HID to become unusable
