well yes and no . think its an 06 ? I got a replacement from you a while ago . Work has been busy so no time to look into it . Think something has gone wrong with the Computer side . I also had a 5 volt supply go west at the same time .It goes to one of your breakout boards . I really need to do an upgrade of the machine control . things are getting old Rutex boards , windows 98 . the list goes on . I have been looking for some replacement for Rutex . Vlad does not appear to be doing anything now . Trying to drive some big DC servoes . ah keeps us young .
