Hey guys,
I just wanted to share something what I just experienced.

Two days ago I got my pendant working. Took some time, but I got it to work for me.

Yesterday I played around with it, getting familliar with it on a part that I milled manually with the pendant
when suddenly it stopped working. It did not show that it lost connection or something. Just stopped.

First thing I checked were batteries and stuff, tried to reconnect, restart the machine, nothing worked.

Then I found out with the lsusb command that the usb stick did in fact not show up in the list.
I unplugged it and put it back in, there it was again.

Started axis back up, no function at all....
Looked in the terminal again and the stick was again not found.

Long story short, The metal part / housing of the usb part itself was way to loose.
The stick by its own weight hang down by a millimeter or so and that was enough that
it did not connect to the copper stripes in the usb port in my pc.

I bent the metal from the usb housing a bit inward to put more tention on the connection itself.
Now it actually has a bit of resistance when putting it in or pulling it out.

It really took some time till I figured this out. It looked like it sit well but it didnĀ“t.

Hope this can help someone in the future.

Greetings, Mike
