Ether1616

Post by machfab »

When upgrading software from older versions to CNC12 v5.06, is the Ether1616 board a requirement?
I updated the software and the CNC Wizard is looking for the Ether1616 to be able to setup the I/O.
Thanks

No it is not a requirement. The software will try to auto detect it and tell you it didn't find it. Just to the left of that pic is the setup for inputs 1-8.

All but the one on the bottom (E-Stop) are not active
Is there a setting that needs to be turned on?

The estop is setup by default You activate the inputs you need for your machine. Did you read the install manual? If you are upgrading then set the inputs the same as your previous version.
