I tried to do my own arcade machine console. I found v-usb mame panel (http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:mamepanel). I made and uploaded the hex code.

When I connect it to pc form usb, computer find it as “Unknown Device”.

I’m not good at electronics. All I wanted to do is to create my mame panel. To find my mistake and it’s solution, I want to tell eveything I make.

When I found v-usb mame panel web page, I felt lucky. I downladed the circuit and sources. I bought this equipments with looking the bom list.

This is the BOM list

** I couldn’t find Atmega32. I bought Atmega32A. I found a document “Migrating from ATmega32 to ATmega32A” (http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc8162.pdf) . I found ATmega 32 datasheet (http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc2503.pdf) and ATmega32A datasheet (http://www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-8155- ... asheet.pdf) But My experience is not enough to understand it

I watched pcb tutorials, made my pcb and upload it’s orginal hex file. I didn’t change any thing on source. I directly used it’s orginal hex file. When I connect it to pc form usb, computer find it as “Unknown Device”.

I found a troubleshooting document about "Device Not Recognized Errors" (http://vusb.wikidot.com/troubleshooting). But My experience is not enough to understand it, again.

I need your help. What can be the problem?

1- Are the equipments that I used correct parts?
2- Is the problem about Atmega32A?
a- Do I have to change something on cicuit?
b- Do I have to change something in the source code?
3- Is the problem coming from another place?

I dont know anything about Atmega32's but when you see that error its something in the USB side of the electronics. Most commonly the diodes. For example 1/4 watt diodes do not work in atmega158's and require 1/2 watt diodes. Also if the source code uses timers, these timer location may change from chip to chip. Check the data sheet for register location that may have moved. "Migrating from ATmega32 to ATmega32A" is going to tell you just that, so where is the disconnect? What is not clear? Without the source it may not be possible to switch chips.

Also remember Unknown Device, is not an error, its a general issue. So you have to hunt down the problem and fix it, no one can guess it for you.
