    Mark,

    Just in case you have tried to update the firmware from SB3, you can't have SB3 open during that. Try just turning on the control box and then start the downloader by going to C:\Program Files\ShopBot\ShopBot 3\ControlBoxLoader

    Maybe that will kick start it.

    I have the same problem and I found a work around. When you start the ShopBot software and it says it can't find the control box, I have it retry and have it search for the right port always comes up with port 4 and then click ok and it then connects and works fine until I shut the software down and restart the software and then I go through my routine again.
