I've tried the device and the cable with another computer, and had no
problem. The USB port on the rpi is working ok for other devices, like
wifi/bluetooth controllers and wired keyboard. Right now, I'm using a
Handy Tech Modular Evolution 88, and that too works fine with the rpi.

Could it be a problem with displays that consume power from the USB
port? The Active Braille reports it uses USB power when connected. With an rpi and a
charging bank, there may be limitations, maybe? I don't know.

Thanks and regards, Lars
