I would never hook my Bot up to anything like that anymore. Tried the Logitech wireless usb in the beginning, yeah it was cool but not reliable. I have a 2001 PRT with a 4G board upgrade and am happy to say that after the last 6 months, no com errors. Machine has been acting right.
- Panasonic Toughbook factory refurbished from ebay with Win 7, cost me $350
- SB 3.8. two months ago from SB website
- Staples Brand powered USB hub in between SB Control and Toughbook.
I have had a few "hick ups" but not com errors and lost position as of yet. I cut only about 8 hrs a week but I like my odds so far. Much better than the old tower CPU I was trying to make work. Don't forget to shut the touch screen off in the settings. Touch screen no like the SB software......lol
I actually set a file running and left it overnight (finish cut with a .125 ballnose, no dust collection, not vac hold down, It worked). It was a last minute christmas gift for my grandfather, had no choice but all safety checks were in place.
