Every so often I appear to be losing connection to the control box - sometimes it can go for hours between dropping connection, sometimes just a couple of minutes.
The PC is Windows 98 with only the Shopbot Control software running (version 3)
At the moment when the tool stops and the yellow box appears I try to retry the connection, but then it says '4 in buffer' and hangs there until I press OK and exit the program (file > exit) - rarely it does regain connection and then I can continue.
If I have to exit, when I restart the co-ordinates have been reset to 0,0,25mm and I have to enter the co-ordinates it had prior to crashing manually and continue the program from the line number it was on.
Its driving me mad!
Any suggestions?
