Hello,
My controller PC had started to blue screen so I bought a newer machine. It is a Core2 Duo, 3 GB ram, onboard graphics(for now), with Win7 32 loaded. I installed Mach3(3.043.066, same as I was running before), MachStandardMill and the latest ESS plugin(ESS_v10r2d1d). Then I ran the SCU program. It completed and I can see the ESS and there aren't any numbers below BootPRxd. So far so good.
Now, if I create a new Mach setup I get the ESS not configured message. I typed in the address as 10.9.9.9 and then Mach will start. I looked at the ESS IP Config and it shows that the address is 255.255.255.255. I could see the status change when I pressed my cycle start and pause buttons.
I tried to reload my setup from the old controller by copying the xml to the Mach3 directory. Then I restarted Mach3 with this setup. I get the message stating that the ESS cannot be contacted, press Yes to retry, not to configure, etc. I select No and type in 10.9.9.9 for the address. but Mach never connects to the ESS.
Any suggestions? Needless to say I really don't want to have to reenter all of the setup data by hand again.
Thanks!
Chris
