Yesterday i had a complete hardrive failure and lost everything. I was using 3.5 beta control software. I noticed a few problems that i hadn't before. The prox switches don't seem to work anymore. The light comes on at the switch on the rail but it doesn't stop the carriage. I raised the bolt up a bit with same results. This was prior to HD failure. I installed new HD, installed ver 3.5.3 from this link:
http://www.shopbottools.com/files/Setup_sb3_5_3.exe. I have a prt alpha 96 with an indexer.
Now I can't get it to recognize that the shopbot is connected and tried to run the firmware update with no luck. Also Where before it recognized X,Y,Z,A,B it now only shows me x,y,z.
I had this problem before when upgrading to 3.5 beta so a call to support will probably cure that part but because it is a new install of operating system my hunch is that the drivers for the ports are not installed to be able to recognize the ports or anything attached...although in device manager it recognies my flash drive connected to a port.
Any advice?
