Oh Kewl! Thanks Hood. That will come in handy.   Just to let you know, I tied cutting the roadrunner file that comes with the old version and learned that it is an engraving. LOL I always cut parts so off I went thinking that this files was of a cutout of the speed demon. At any rate, I exercised the machine and got some new lube on it. Now I am on to a circuit prototyping job today.

Thanks for all of your help Hood. This forum is great. Hopefully I will be able to help someone else out in it in the future.

Hood,

The version I am running is 1.84 and yes, everything is the same as it was before. I put the chips in and that did it. These chips are electrostatic sensitive and evidently the storm I had a year ago took all three out. I have three more extras in case I get another bad storm. I live in N. Florida and they can be horrendous at times.

I have to run across town to get a package the UPS has messed up delivery on twice. What interface are you wanting a screen shot of? The new one that I am seeing as 'not as pro'? If so I will post them this evening when I get back (I still have the new version installed on this computer. I keep my machine computer off of the network).

Hood,

I got er goin'!!!!    It was those ICs. Popped them in and off it went! Thanks for all of your help. I might need some more when I upgrade to the full version which I will be doing soon. On that subject, the new version 3.84 (or whatever it is) has a pretty grainy user interface. What do you think. To me it doesn't look as pro as the 1.84. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it actually not as clean as the one I am running now?

Hood, I am running the original that I loaded when I got the machine, R1.84.000 the run and idle lights only come on when I run g-code.

I am off to lay down for a bit. I have guests coming over for a cookout this afternoon.

Let me know if you think of anything else. I have a sneaking feeling that these chips are bad. But, who knows?

Thanks for your help. I'll check back in an hour or so.

Hood,

I am showing 25440 for pulse freq and INt is flucuating somewhere between 2 and 5. I did notice that I am showing an 'Idle' light green.

Hood,

I am not sure. I ran the driver test and it showed 24335 but that may not mean anything. I was just going to lay down for a bit but let me go out and check real quick...

Casinog,

Good to hear you are up and running. Good job RICH!  I am still waiting for my controller chips. They should be here tomorrow and we'll see if that is it.

I have not seen this problem but Al's recommendation looks feasible.
