I installed Acorn yesterday for the first time using Marty's YouTube videos. Everything was OK until after downloading the software and running the setup for Acorn. During Marty's install, 16:35 minutes in, he gets the wizard which for some reason I did not. I was having communication issues between the software and Acorn board, I checked everything, firewall, cable,etc... but couldn't find any issues.
So I rebooted my NUC/PC and when reboot was complete I was able to established communication the Acorn board and Acorn software.
But not sure at this point how to do the initial bench test. I don't have the Wizard icon on my desktop either, not sure why. I don't want to proceed further without doing this step. Please advise.
Thanks,
Peter

(i think you might be looking at one of marty's older videos that is using 4 year old software, the Wizard now starts from the CNC12 Utility Menu )

Thank you Keith! I was thinking that the video might be out dated but I just wanted to be sure before proceeding.

Yet another reason those old videos need to be removed from YouTube, none of the information is relevant anymore and will just confuse people.

yeah, Marty owns those. Maybe he could add a overlay graphic to them? (Archival video see latest here or something like that) not sure if you can do that anymore with Youtube. or a least put a link in the description to the new video/web page.
