At what point going backwards do the Acorn Six boards need a firmware update for this? Can you share a date or serial number where the boards need a firmware update? Thanks.

OK, seeing what drives you have it's impossible to have the steps per rev you have set in the wizard. Set the drives and wizard to be 1600 or 3200. The values you have are incorrect. Did you come over from a Mach3 setup? Read this topic as anything else you do right now is a moot point, you have to ...

A side note here, looking at your report, I'm not sure how you came up with your steps per revolution. You have them set to 25,400 on the X and Y and 40,650 on the Z axis.

Please tell us what stepper drive you are using, most stepper drives are enabled by default and the ENA connection is not...

Please post a CURRENT report from the machine. Anytime you have issues AND you have made machine changes you must post a new report so we can see your current settings. We can see how the machine is setup and look at your error log as to what the issue might be.

Sorry ShawnM, I guess my original post wasn't completely clear. It did get to the point were I was unable to reconnect. I have gone back through and used the PC tuner, and worked through Tech Bulletin 270. I downloaded all windows updates and verified that the firewall is still off. I am getting th...
