New install, Using Dex card, upodated but keyboard does not work

,

I am using the Official Dex card. I ran through all the update process, but if I use the VNC controller from the Dex webpage, none of the keyboard or mouse functions work. I can step through the icons using the arrow keys but can select or type and icons. Does not seem to recognise the keyboard or mouse input. Here is the result from the test_all.sh. Also running the Blink test script does not work. Nothing happens with the LED.

Are you using Internet Explorer by any chance? Even I you aren’t I’d try a different browser. It should work on Chrome and Firefox. Not sure about Edge.

If that fails my guess is your SD card has gone crazy and needs to be redone.
The process is simple just follow the tutorial:
https://www.dexterindustries.com/howto/install-raspbian-for-robots-image-on-an-sd-card/

That should work.

Hi @pviljoen.ret,

Your logs look good.


I’ve also encountered your issue and to this day I haven’t deep dived into it to determine what is the cause.

There’s one laptop in particular that I have that doesn’t work with the built-in VNC that comes with Raspbian For Robots flavor.
Every time I’d use the VNC controller that’s on the dex.local page, I wouldn’t be able to use either the mouse or the keyboard. It was tested on Chrome and Edge.

But when I switch to any other machine, it works.

So for now, my suggestion is to check on another machine (laptop) of yours if it works. By following this suggestion, we can determine if we have the same issue.
Also, I might suggest trying with Mozilla Firefox and see if there’s a change or not.


Thank you!
