My son and I are getting back to getting this lathe going.
Here is a bit more info that we have found.
We have pulled the mmc card and tested the battery it reads 3. book says 3.9 is there any other batteries I should check?.

The display on the Simodrive 611 flashes between 004 1 (first 0 underlined) and
P-ooo.

We have accessed the OSA diagnostics and there is no response from the handwheel and the display says that the keyboard is a fail but in the book it shows the screen with a pass shown.

When we first got this the buttons were hard to push in order to work, and we were given a 2nd complete panel with display that we switched out it could be possible that a jumper is set wrong perhaps
