The D+ and D- pins carry the actual data that is being transferred. The nice thing about our good-old USB cables is that you only need 3 of the 4 pins to actually let the devices communicate. If the display still stays on when the printer is off, check if the tape wasn’t damaged or displaced by the Pi’s USB-port pins. Once you stick the piece of tape over the pin you can just fold the excess part around the edge as you can see in the picture above.Īnd that’s it! Now you can just plug the cable back in your printer and into your Raspberry Pi and you’re all set!Īs you will see, the display of your printer is no longer powered through USB. Make sure you don’t cut the piece too wide to a point where it covers any of the other pins. Cut the piece long enough to make it wrap around the outside to keep it into place. You can now cut your tape to roughly the width of the pin so it will cover the pin completely. This is where your tape and scissors come in to play. You can then identify the positive 5V pin which is the rightmost pin on the connector. Orient it as shown in the picture (with the thicker part down). The first thing you need to do is orient the type-A side of your USB-cable. This is because it has a much smoother surface allowing the 5v pin to slide over it instead of ripping it. That’s why I suggest you use regular transparent household-tape. However, I found that due to its rough surface this kind of tape is easily displaced/damaged by the USB-port’s pin. 😉įor the sake of visibility, I used duct tape. I know it is a lot but I’m sure there’s a store near you that sells these kinds of materials if you don’t own them already. Here’s a very detailed list of everything you need: That’s why I’m here to help you prevent your USB-cable from powering your printer’s display. I’m sure most CR-10(S) users will agree that it doesn’t have the most durable USB-port.Īnyways, after looking around on the internet for a bit, I found that you can easily make a data-only cable from your regular USB-cable. But I realized that -eventually- this will break the USB-port of my CR-10S. Of course, I tried unplugging the USB-cable from printer every night. Having the blue light of the printer’s LCD-display light my room is on my top 1 list of annoyances when I try to sleep. The problem I stumbled upon though, is that I have this printer sitting at a desk in my bedroom. So, I decided to hook up a Raspberry Pi to my printer running Octoprint (which I quickly replaced with Astroprint by the way). It would be nice to keep an eye on it when I wasn’t around the house. Happy as I was when I first got to play around with my brand-new printer, it didn’t take long for me to figure out it that I was missing something. If anyone has any ideas I'd certainly appreciate it.Are you totally done with having to unplug your 3D printer from your Raspberry Pi each time you want your printer’s screen to turn off along with the rest of your machine? In this post I will show you how you can disable the power on a USB-cable so the display of your 3D-printer does not light up while it is turned off. The one thing I've not had a chance to try yet is to put one of the monitors on a different computer. I did some web searches and tried a few things there (can't remember exactly what) and still no joy. A attached another VGA monitor to the left and it worked fine. I left the machine off for a time and then booted up (in case there was some heat issue).
OPTIQUEST MONITOR NOT POWERING ON DRIVER
Although it's always worked fine using the Generic PnP driver looked for a driver specifically for the Optiquest monitor and found none. I did a check for updates on the driver and was told it was up to date. Since different graphics cards are involved I've focused on the monitors themselves, and therefore their drivers.
OPTIQUEST MONITOR NOT POWERING ON SERIES
Right - Optiquest VS12107, VGA, ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series graphics card. This screen is black.Ĭenter - Dell ST2421L, HDMI, GTX770 graphics card. Left - Optiquest VS12107, VGA, GTX770 graphics card. The monitors are reported as detected and moving my mouse to either one acts as if the mouse is moving there (even though the mouse can't be seen).
OPTIQUEST MONITOR NOT POWERING ON UPDATE
Nothing has changed in the hardware depart, and I see nothing but an update to Adobe in the last week.
OPTIQUEST MONITOR NOT POWERING ON WINDOWS
The monitor driver is the generic driver for Windows 10. The are both an Optiquest VS12107 using VGA and are on different graphics cards. I DID get one (the left) to work properly one time after a re-boot. If I turn the monitor off and on it displayes for about 2-3 seconds and goes black. Within the last few days (first discovered yesterday, was fine the week before, and computer not used daily) two of my monitors a show black screen even though the power is on.
