*front usb ports of the pc don't work? always said "unknown device" (get a screenshot)

*back usb ports better:

**shows up initially in device manager as "EZ-USB FX2" (with no driver)
***get a screenshot

*driver half-uninstalled; was still in the windows "driver store", but c:\windows\inf\oem14.inf was missing
**figured that out from c:\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log
**could neither reinstall ("Package was already in store: skipping Driver Store add")
***nor uninstall ("The system cannot find the file specified")
**manually copied and pasted c:\windows\inf\ltusb.inf to c:\windows\inf\oem14.inf
***then uninstall succeeded
****used DIFxCmd.exe that came with LTUSBDrvSetup_V3.0_EN.exe, downloaded from leetro.com
*****WARNING: that 3.0 driver installed properly, but the laser controller would freeze (no comms w/ PC, no response to panel buttons) after trying to download from LaserCut 5.3
*yeah buddy, each time you move the laser cutter to a different usb port, it shows up as (unusable) "EZ-USB FX2", and you have to manually change the driver through device manager
*mention linux kernel log and python stuff used to prove USB comms were working
*pic of soldered usb port from jason's usb microscope
**pic of where that is for context from reddawg
* why can't we use rdworks, etc. (because they are specifically for other, non-Leetro controllers)
* yes we should use something like <nowiki>https://github.com/gnea/grbl</nowiki> (via Nathan) but no one really wants to rewire the machine
