I've developed a problem recently with the USB communication dropping out frequently during cuts. It's to the point that things are unusable since I'm having to babysit the tool and restart the job continually.
Symptoms:
1. Yellow screen showing communication dropout. Hit return to exit.
2. Doesn't occur at the same point in a cut. Random in nature.
3. Recovery varies from restarting control software to full PC reboot.
4. Tool typically doesn't know where it's at (default 0,0,1 coordinates). Sometimes it does retain it's actual position.
Any troubleshooting suggestions?
I work within 30 minutes of the SB mothership in Durham, so bringing the controller in isn't a horrible option. Prefer to correct things at home.
