I'm trying to get my Buddy going and am having trouble connecting to my PC.
Here's what I've got going on:
1) When I flip the big switch on my Buddy to on, after a few seconds it sounds like a fan is running on the spindle
2) On my PC the shopbot software cannot talk to my buddy. I tried all of the help files tricks and have confirmed that there is a "Shopbot controller" installed on Port 4 of my PC.
3) I'm running version 3.6.24 of the control software.
4) I've tried both positions with the key switch and still no luck. I assume a twist to the right is on?
5) I've hit the reset button on buddy itself and this activated the spindle controller. Its display now reads V 6.61 and the stop and drv lights are lit.
Any ideas on what's going on would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. I need to run out now for a couple of hours and will get back on this around noon.
