Umm.. Umm..

 

I finally got my internet back and was able to update to 1.47 with no issues, wifi working, usb working.

 

Thanks Peter, I will give it a try.

Can I ask a limit switch question here?

After reading through most of these replies I'm still struggling with flashing my interface. I have been able to connect it with a different USB C cable while in flash mode. When I open the control software the updated version will auto populate as an option in the wizard. However, in the console it just says "starting". Been sitting like that for at least 15 minutes now. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Mac. I tried plugging my phone into my laptop with the same cable and it only charged and wouldn't let me access files. I'm going to try getting a new cable today and see if that fixes it.

 

Great news! Thank you!

 

Just wanted to update - yesterday was my friday and as a surprise my replacement interface came a day early so I was able to hook it up today (my weekends start thursdays) and not only has it updated via wifi, it runs perfectly, I've had no connection issues so far, and the usb read right away. All in all, very happy so far!
Thanks for the patience and work Peter, much appreciated!

 

What is the best way to suspend a long job If need to shut the machine down and resume the next morning.?
Thanks

 

i sorted the issues i was having with my new interface not reading the usb drives all it took was for me to format my fash drives with "verbatim FAT32 Tool" now my interface will read all my drives straight away all the time. Just thought id share incase it helps somebody else

 

Hi Everyone.
I just wanted to confirm with some other users about their experience with the interface.

I have a work bee, blackbox motion controller running from a windows 10 PC. Time and time again my computer disconnects midway through a project and I have to unplug and re-plug the black box from the USB port in order to connect. From what I've read on this forum the problem is a combination of windows and emi from the router. I've been through a few wiring configurations trying to distance and shield various components from any emi with only limited success. I love my cnc, but this emi issue is really dampening my spirits. So anyway, just wanted to confirm with other users if buying an interface will solve this issue, or if there is something else I should be doing.
Thanks everyone.

 

Thanks Peter. I had missed some of these tips. Fixing the USB suspended definitely improved the disconnects. Will work on earthing everything.

 

Sorry if this has been asked, but can this connect to the XPro V5 controller? It's not obvious to me which inputs it would plug into.

 

Has anyone tried connecting this to an XCarve controller? I understand I's have to fashion my own cable and I'm not afraid of a little soldering. 5v and ground are easy but I'm not sure how to go about the TX/RX pins. Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

I was afraid this would be the reply. I CAN do it. Just not sure I WANT to do it. ugh. Thanks.

 

You do have a point. I mean, it's past noon and I'm just sitting here. I could be slicing and dicing and Openbuilds is right here in my home state. Worst case I'm down a couple of days and I have no projects pending. Hmmmmmm........

 

On a related note...any reason to go with their power supply or just use the one from my X-Controller?

 

Thanks Peter. I truly appreciate your time. Last question. I promise. Looking at the documentation for the Interface controller, I'm almost led to believe I could cut up the USB AB cable coming from my XCarve controller then use the connector supplied with the Interface cable to connect to the Interface (basically just splicing the two cables together). I mean, the USB AB cable is just Gnd, 5v, and Data +/-. Am I just dead wrong on this? It would just be 50/50 if I get the Tx/Rx backwards.
