HI
The computer running my DIY CNC died yesterday but I have managed to access the data on the C drive, and once that was done I thought it would be simple to get things going on a new (old really
) computer, but I was wrong!
I downloaded Mach4 and installed it on the new computer, I then downloaded the PMDX 424 plugin and installed it. I them retrieved my modified Profiles and installed them into the Profiles folder. I updated the PMDX firmware as well.
When I opened my "DQ Working" profile the screen that loaded was not my old screen, all of the changes I had made were gone. The machine configuration settings look ok. I could get the spindle to turn on but I could not get any of the axis's to move, the motors are not enabling when the Enable button is toggled, and it looks like the Limit switches are not working as well!!
I eventually retrieved the old wx4.set file and replaced the new wx4.set file with the old one, the correct screen layout loaded but when it loads I get the warnings shown in the attached. Just like with the new wx4.set file nothing but the Spindle works.
Does this mean I have to rebuild my old profiles (4 off) from scratch while using the latest wx4.set file?
Any thoughts as to why the loaded configuration doesn't work?
