Re: probe wiring question

You can use a multimeter to map the connector pins to the wire colors on each cable.

Re: m400, windows failure to load

It seems like this is not an uncommon problem. There are lots of pages on the Web dealing with this. Google the error code, and try some of the suggested solutions. One of the postulated causes is a bad target disc. This could explain the original boot failure.

Re: Ballscrew Comp 2nd & 3rd Attempts

Ballscrew comp is not something you iterate on. You command a position, measure the actual position, and record the difference in the table. Comp tables will have values in tenths, or less than 10 microns. Backlash values will be less than a couple of thousandths (50 microns or less). If your values...

Re: m400, windows failure to load

While you have it down, I'd go ahead and replace the CMOS battery.

Re: m400, windows failure to load

If you are starting over, I would continue with the UEFI install. The MBR info was only mentioned if you wanted to try and recover your existing install. Those motherboards are getting a little old (mine were ~12 years old), and can no longer be sourced. I had one machine where that MB completely di...

If the bootable USB drive is configured as an MBR drive (slightly more complicated to setup than an GPT), then the computer will start in legacy BIOS mode. There are numerous YouTube vids explaining how to make a bootable MBR USB. Using R...

Re: Converting HASS G Code for Centroid Mill

If you wish to keep the extended WCS numbers, you can use G54 P1 for WCS #7 through G54 P12 for WCS #18.

Re: m400, windows failure to load

When you start the Windows install, it should find the existing installation and ask you if you want to repair it. I would try that first.
