PoKeys / Re: Mach4 stopped recognising my lathe

« on: March 30, 2017, 10:39:42 PM »

The specific error message I receive is "One or more of PoKeys devices were not found. Close Mach4, check the connections and power, then restart Mach4"

I am running Windows 10 and connected to the controller via the network cable. I have tried a different cable and I have tried running in Windows 8 compatibility mode

PoKeys / Mach4 stopped recognising my lathe

« on: March 30, 2017, 10:24:01 PM »

Hey guys, I recently acquired a nice pokey mini lathe and managed to get the x and z axes moving in mach4 and the spindle SRO reading but realised I hadn't plugged the spindle power into the controller. Once I did this however mach4 stopped detecting my lathe on the profile I had.

I've tried replacing the profile from a backup, rebooted numerous times and reinstalled mach4 to no effect. Creating a new profile and using the wizard to add the lathe seems to detect the device but mach4 crashes before the wizard finishes every time I attempt this.

Any ideas what might be going on here?
