Having trouble getting a DMC2030 to work correctly with Windows 7. I have a USB and serial port on the DMC but can only connect with the serial. When I do connect with serial when I try to do a BGX command I get an error "TC5" saying the input buffer is full. I can read encoder position and poll other info, but cannot make any moves. I have seen a command running "QR" so something must be happening from this to fill the buffer. This controller used to be hooked up to an XP machine thru USB with Mach 3 and all worked very well. I'm sure the controller is good unless Win 7 has done something. I wonder if Mach has any residual commands running on the galil that don't show up? I seem to have no program on the controller but with the buffer full when I do "LI" to list threads I get the TC5 buffer full message again. I guess I will go back to XP and see what happens. Galil says it may be a USB driver issue with Win 7 but does that explain the serial message about the buffer?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks, Allen
