All it needed was legacy USB support enabled!

Look in the Kontron ktqm67/flex manual online to see the pin-out. This is for a modern motherboard, but the pin order should be standard. Anyway it never hurts to measure the supposed 5V pin with a volt meter to verify.

2016-01-31 01:54:45 +0000 UTCI have read about that. There was also a Barbie one. I had also read that they had a very high failure rate because of hardware issues. I can see why. I'd like to see a follow up video to see what you end up doing with it.
