    Default 3.6.18 control software

    I just loaded 3.6.18 for my PRS standard and when I ran the C3 command the spindle drove down no x or y movement. I ended up going back to the version I had before 3.5.9 to get my job done. has any body else had this problem and how did you solve it.

    I have been running it without that problem. Did you load the firmware into the control box first?

    The only "errors" I have gotten were present before this release as well..... prox switch detection while machine is moving. Seems to be a ShopBot thing.

    I reloaded the software and reloaded the firmware and still was getting the same z plunge. I found out that my z unit vales were way off and that was what was causing the problem. It was just trying to go to 1 inch from 2 inches up but was moving about 5 inches.
