Thanks Steve, so using ethernet and leaving SmartTerm closed, the Galil.dll should work then? (I have the ENET working now)
Next question, I had the Mach3 install file and the Galil.dll file in another directory, uninstalled Mach3, deleted the Mach3 directory and shortcuts, then reinstalled Mach3. Wasn't sure how to install the Galil.dll so I added .m3p to the file name (Galil.dll.m3p) which gave it the yellow flash icon and double clicked it. Seemed like it installed properly but since you would know I thought it best to ask. Was that a screw-up? (I seem somewhat good at those)
Now I have no error messages, ST works with the 2160 via ENET, using it I have commanded motion, limit switch indications and encoder counts. Both serial and ENET connections are registered. (Could this be the problem maybe? Remove the serial connection?) Reboot.
When I open Mach3 I have the Dialog with radio buttons and select Galil, then get a reset (flashing) and message: Galil Communications begun!!
Open Config/config plug-ins, choose Galil.dll v4.6.0.0 and click config button (yellow).
On the General tab the only box I have checked is Linear Interpolation. On the Motors tab the only motor I have enabled is Z(C) Servo. No changes in the other three tabs. Click OK, Save, or whatever that button is.
Back at the first config window select Galil.dll v4.6.0.0 (only Galil there) Hit the button.
And then I get: Galil Card not connected!!
Maybe that's a clue. I'm just guessing something in the general tab needs to be enabled? (Unless it's that serial connection.) (Or unless I screwed up the Galil.dll install)
