My old Win7 tower crashed itself to death finally and I put together a new tower with clean install of Win 10. Installed latest LB and USB driver. Did not install RDworks.
After a few headaches and I got everything working, but the controller disconnects from LB constantly. Sometimes when I try to frame or run a job. Sometimes when doing nothing.
Before I replace the controller (one of the few parts on this machine I have not replaced yet) are there any suggestions? I tried new usb cables. And bypassed the panel socket, plugging directly into the Ruida.
Maybe see if there’s a new firmware available??? That means installing RDworks after all, right?
Maybe find an old router switch and connect via Ethernet?
I found an old Apple Express router in a drawer. Might try connecting that. Prolly another rabbit hole to go down though, I’m not networking savvy at all.
The laser smashes into the rails because your limit switches aren’t working or configured correctly yet. The laser shows 10000,10000 as its position when it hasn’t been homed.
In machine settings: is there a LB equivalent parameter to “Auto home X” found in Ruida? If I can set that to false it will prevent the smashing until I can replace the faulty X axis limit switch.
