Running an MDA Precision V4 F1210 mill since 2015. Running on Lenovo ThinkCenter computer with Windows 7 Professional.
Hobby application: model trains
Ran mill after long layoff. Mill started OK, but since then intermittently got these following error message and mill stopped. I can restart and maybe will run. Sometimes runs for hours.
(1) CTftp: Wakeup Motherboard does not reply
(2) Config Required: Smoothstepperboard
Config shows: IP address 10,9,9,9,9
blank fields for MAC address of PC etherrnet adapter in use
blank field for MAC address of smooth stepper board
(3) ESS_v10r2d1d not responding
Initial Mach3 screen on startup shows version X.X, but main screen shows Licensed to MDA Precision serial 1411006
Looked at config for ESS_v10r2d1d and found IP set at 255,255,255,255 with MAC inputs blank
.XML profile is Basic Milling Inch
ESS plugin is ESS_v10r2d1d
Running Ethernet
Note mill in garage and we, Portland, OR, had very hot summer with temps 2 days over 112 F. Smoothstepper board damaged?
