Good day gents.
Reinier here from South Africa currently living in UAE.
My very first post and Im ready to quit from frustration.
I simply cannot get my controller to connect with my PC. I have followed all the instructions to perfection. I watched all the YouTube configuration videos and complied with everything. I'm using a Blink Intel PC with Windows 11. My brother who works in IT tried helping also and made sure all I.P settings is good.
I just don't know what to do anymore.
An help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the message I get.
Controller will not connect with PC.

Re: Controller will not connect with PC.
Did you follow TB 270: https://www.centroidcnc.com/dealersuppo ... ds/270.pdf
When you install the software it will ask to set the IP address for you automatically.
Is the IP of NIC the Acorn is plugged into actually set with a static IP of 10.168.41.1 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0?
Can you ping 10.168.41.1? Can you ping 10.168.41.2 (the Acorn)? If you can ping both then the issue is probably a Firewall blocking communication.

Re: Controller will not connect with PC.
PING test works perfect. Absolutely every single firewall, virus protection everything is switched off. I even tried in on another laptop and does the same.
Im loading windows 10 now hoping maybe windows 11 was the problem
