USB Voltage Issues with ETC Lighthack

Hello yall,

I'm having a problem with the boxed ETC lighthack that when built and plugged in the laptop is throwing an error saying that the device is pulling to much power. I threw a 330K resistor on pin 14 to see if that helps but I'm still getting an error. I'm not 100% on where to go from here. Any help would be great!

If it's drawing too much power that suggests there's a short to ground somewhere. Check your wiring.

Try heating up your solder pads on the display board. I had a similar issue with one of the display boards and it seemed one of the pads wasn't awesome enough.
