Re: USB Communication with Computer PSU vs 12v Supply

Well, to close this out, the solution was connecting the DC ground to the mains ground. Thanks for the tip about measuring the voltages, I checked between the +12v DC to mains ground; the ATX supply read 12v, while the dedicated read as an open circuit. I'll update if anything goes wrong. Like a fire.

Sadly, I think I broke the USB-power mode on my RUMBA board in the process of trying to get this working, but luckily, that's not something I need most of the time. What (and if) I actually broke isn't something I'm capable of diagnosing (my guess is a diode?), but if someone wants to try... it's clearly not directly related to my original issue. But I'd appreciate it. Maybe. If I every find out I need that functionality.
