Hi this is the cypress enable script to run the spindes this loads the rom on the controller board 
with the file duet.dat which exists within the boxford software which you can download sorry
its not simple but that is the way it is you must talk directly to the serial ports and send six bytes
use a null modem cable you will know you have it working because there are two led's on the board 
which flash and then stop, see the manua, try it ouot if you have problems place a post.
