hello everyone.
my husband and i just finished assembling our shopbot. we have windows xp. our first problem arose when we tried to simply move the shop bot using the computer. we kept getting a message that said "trying to locate tool." then it would tell us that it could not. the #4 portal keeps blinking. we tried to adjust the issue using the VI command. we have the settings under the VI as the circuit is usually closed, and that it's a limited switch. well, none of this seemed to work.
so we tried to uninstall our shopbot hardware, and re-install, thinking that we somehow installed it improperly. now after doing that, the computer is acting completely wacko saying there are missing files and what not. also we discovered that the computer had not deleted a few files from the first time we loaded the shopbot program...AND it won't let us delete them. i am not at all computer savy so I apologize if i didn't express the problem well enough. i am hoping some one can help or at least point us in the right direction. thank you!
