One on one phone support. / Mach3 upgrade from R3.033 to 3.043.022 stops communication to MAXNC controller

« on: July 01, 2012, 02:07:06 PM »

I have used R3.033 for years, but have never sucessfully gotten that version to address backlash.  I have some tasks where I must compensate.  I have downloaded and installed v 3.043.022.  But, when doing that, the new version will not communicate with the controller (MaxNC 15 CL).  That is, no power to the steppers for holding, and the normal "clunk" on reset does not occur.  Can't move any axis.

And, the older version of Mach3 3.033 no longer works.  I have to re-install to get the old system functioning again.

It appears to me, browsing the internet, the newer version will handle backlash.  Can I get some help on this?
