    Hi, i'm having problem in getting my setup to work properly as if i connect two jrks (each controlling a wiper motor) to the same pc one of the two gives 0x1f errors (control transfer failed). If i run each one alone then all works perfect... and even if i control the two jrks with two different pc's they run flawlessly... this thing is driving me crazy, does anyone have a clue about this? thank you so much in advance!

    Are you connecting them directly to PC box or through a USB hub? Have you tried different USB cables? Tried disconnecting everything else using USB and connecting just JRKs?

    Is this 0x1f a Windows or a pololu error message?

    Sometimes several usb ports on a mainboard are connected like a hub... But even this should work. Did you try other usb ports?

    Thank you for your answers!

    i'm not using any other usb devices, and i've tried to connect them in every possible way: directly to pc, using a hub, one direct and one on the hub... at the moment i've got only these two usb-mini usb cables to test the jrks, do you think that changing one or both of them could solve the problem? so why if i plug them one at a time they work perfectly?

    is a windows pop-up error saying "There was an error setting the target. Control transfer failed. Error code 0x1f"... and sometimes after this error the jrk becomes a not recognized device until i plug it again... I've got 3 usb ports on this notebook, tried all of them... tried even to connect to the other pc, same result... they seem to work only if i plug them each one on a different pc...

    Mhh strange one... Are the wipers connected as this error happens?
    Reason:
    I had some disconnect problems when my wiper Motors were not ground isolated correct. But on the other hand i never had this error message?.

    yes wipers are connected, and i've found one of them not being isolated... i'm isolating it now, but what i can't understand is why with two different pc all runs ok? if there's current leakage then shouldn't matter if you connect it to one or two pc... or am i wrong?

    i've isolated the motor and now all runs fine!!! the answer to why does it worked with two pc even if there was a leakage on the chassis will remain forever a mistery to me but... who cares! :D thanks to all of you guys!

    there more than likely was an earth leak as you isolated the motors and solved the problem. Not sure why its not working on 2 PC, I use 2 pc, one for game, and game manager and a laptop for jrk control and game engine. All successfully networked together.
