Hello!
I was trying to set up my Loco Positioning System. As per the Getting Started page, I've downloaded the LPS configuration tool and the latest LPS firmware. However, when I plug in the node to my computer via micro-usb, the 'Update' button is still disabled. I've tried configuring the node on both Mac and Windows. On Windows, the dropdown in Zadig doesn't even contain "STM32 BOOTLOADER", but it detects my Crazyradio just fine in the same usb port. I've tried this through normally connecting the node without pressing any buttons and connecting the node holding the DFU button. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or any way I can fix this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Do you have more than one node? Is that happening with only one node or with all of them?
Also to double check: are you sure your USB cable is working properly? There has been one previous case where the problem was in the USB cable not containing the required data line).

Ah, thank you! It wasn't working with any of my other nodes, but it worked when I tried another USB cable. I feel so silly for not thinking of that before!

Great! Our of curiosity where did the faulty USB cable come from?

I used the USB cable that came with the portable power supplies I bought for my nodes. It was a cable meant for charging, so it makes sense that it wouldn't have the required data line either for cost, manufacturing, or technical considerations.

Ok, this makes sense. The USB cables deliver with USB batteries are not compliant which is annoying but now we are used to not trusting them...
