Hi All, my first time here so hope i am in the right place.
I have purchased an ESS and C62 CNC4PC BOB and trying to get if functioning through Mach4.
I have managed to get the ESS connected to my PC, however, it seems that the C62 BOB and the ESS are not talking to each other.
I have set all the Pins and Ports as described by the manufacturer but still cannot get them to talk.
The main problem is that I have an ESTOP switch connected to the the C62 but when pressed, it changes some lights on the BOB but does not show in Mach4.
Same with Mach4, if i press the "disable" button in Mach4, nothing shows on the BOB.
The ESS is setup correctly as the lights are doing what they are supposed to do, it just seems to be a problem with the C62.
I have discussed with Arturo at CNC4PC and he has given me some ideas to check, but again, no go.
I am hoping someone on the forum can suggest what the problem may be as i am at the end of my patience. I have spent more than 40 hours working on this and researching but to no avail.
The ESTOP is set to Port 2 Pin 10 as recommended by CNC4PC. The Active low is selected as told to do but when i select active low, the ESTOP message comes up and nothing i do will clear it unless i un-check Active Low. it also causes Mach4 and Mach3 to crash.
i have tried on three different PC's and all have the same result. i have tried with different Ethernet cables but no difference.
I really hope someone can help.
Thank you
Kind Regards
Dean
