Port one is set to 0378. Still no go.

I remember Art discussing this phenomenon in one of his tutorials but since it didn't apply to me at the time I didn't give it much thought.

It didn't work but I did notice that the DROs show movement even though the steppers don't. This is true with all 3 axes.

Okay. Now we're getting somewhere. That opened Mach without any legal warnings. I killed off the estop as usual with one click and I heard the familiar thump of my stepper motor. Then I loaded a g-code which produced a nice toolpath. But-- Still no keyboard. Typically what I do after opening Mach is to press the page up key to lift the router off the table.

I see what you're saying. I may have shot myself in the foot on that one. Months ago when this computer was in another room and running Mach without an actual CNC machine connected to it- I put my icon down on the quick launch toolbar so I could open it with one click. Then I deleted the desktop icons. Can I get them back so I can do what you say?

You could be my son. Guess we better not go there.

Looks like I'm screwed. Pasting in the SoundLogic file did nothing. It didn't even overwrite another file. My second shot was Mach3Mill.xml. It asked to overwrite so I said yes. When I tried to open Mach I got an error box that said "corru;pt install- no license found- aborting. Then a bigger box appeard that siad "legal notice" I could agree or disagree so I agreed. Then Mach opened okay and I was able to kill the estop. Previously I couldn't turn it off. But when I put in a gcode the toolpath wouldn't appear or it appeared like a bunch of circles (not the job). In additon to that my keyboard still wouldn't work.

Okay. I guess that would be the Sound Logic M3 file. I only just now noticed you're in Scotland. I was in Edinburgh (while in the Navy) in 1964. Went to the castle. Want to return before I die.

This is what I found. Don't know which one(s) to paste in. Help!
