I've just made the switch to Fusion 360 and I'm having a couple issues. First, I discovered I had to insert the "SO,1,1" into the G Code to get my spindle to turn on. I'm not sure if there is more I should do. That seems to get the toolpath up and running but I have yet to successfully complete a toolpath. After I figured how to start the spindle my toolpath was running fine but suddenly stopped in the middle of a routine. I was walking past the shopbot when it happened so i didn't get to see what precisely happened on the screen the moment it stopped working. When I looked at the computer screen after the machine had stopped (the spindle fan was still on) the main control panel for the shopbot app had shut down and the computer was frozen. I had to do a hard reboot of my laptop. When I finally got the Shopbot Editor back up and running I was able to start the spindle again but after a couple seconds of running a window appeared saying "Make sure all the cables are in place and the control box is ON." Any help is greatly appreciated. I know in the past I've sometimes had to reinstall firmware or some such thing.2950629507
