I was having problems yesterday power overload messages on the usb hub. I finally found it seemed when I stepped on the platform I had over the usb cable and monitor cable it caused the problem. so I take the platform off and it seems to run fine. I cut a file this morning and then make another cover that does not touch the wires. Every since then I get limit switch stops when jogging.
I am using 3.6.1.4 with the prtalpha and speedtest is 83. so I go and get another cable and no change. I connect directly to the bot and skip the dynex hub and it still does it though speedtest is 73. so I don't have a clue. could it be the computer or what? it's a hassle to change computers so I don't want to do it unless I have too.
I have the shopbots cable on the hub then the hub is on a 6' cord plus the original to the computer. I just moved the computer to eliminate that cable and still get the limit switch error. speed test is still 83

well tried my win 7 computer and the same thing. I did notice the 3 light blinks when it stops.

Have you opened up your control box to see if there is a lot of dust in it?

[knight_toolworks]

checked and the box is clean. I just moved the computer close to the bot so I am using a shorter vga cord and I can skip the usb hub. one goofy that that started is the software thyinks the bot is on port 4 and just gives and reset button needs pushed error. when you do a search it says com 4. I am trying reinstalling it. but that's not the prox error that happened on the win 7 machine that had the software fresh installed.

I had a similar problem I had to reload the firmware on the control box

no idea why the software and all was acting up. but I found a gap on one of the prox switches wires. it was too tight were I attached it to the e chain. I was lucky and was able to re solder it back together.
