Touch Controller not detected in DISPLAX Connect

Why is my Touch Controller not detected in DISPLAX Connect?

There are several common reasons why a Touch Controller may not be detected by your computer or by DISPLAX Connect. Follow the checks below to identify and resolve the issue.



Troubleshooting Checklist

1. Verify Motherboard and USB Drivers (Windows)

  • Ensure all motherboard drivers are properly installed

  • Missing or incorrectly installed USB drivers can prevent the DISPLAX Skin from appearing in:

    • Device Manager

    • DISPLAX Connect

➡️ If the Touch Controller does not appear in Device Manager, the issue is likely driver-related.

2. USB Extensions and Hubs

These devices may:

  1. Limit USB communication bandwidth
  2. Fail to supply sufficient power to the Touch Controller

✅ Connect the DISPLAX Skin directly to a USB port on the computer for testing.

3. Check Operating System Detection

  • Confirm the operating system detects the Touch Controller as a USB device (Windows example: Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > HID-compliant touch screen)

  • If the OS does not recognize the device, DISPLAX Connect will not detect it either

Next Steps

If the Touch Controller is still not detected after completing the steps above:

  • Try a different USB port or computer

  • Restart the system

  • Verify cable integrity
