Hi lads,
Can any body explain what is probably a simple mistake that I'm doing?
I'm new to the CNC business and starting my first project.
And using the Smooth Stepper as the PC I'm using dosn't have a parallel port!
I installed the latest driver and plugin from Warp9 downloads page.
The software configuration ran perfect and Mach connected with the Smooth Stepper board and at that time using the USB cable for my 5V supply to the board, no problems so far! all correct LEDs on including the green (done) all perfect.
But now when the external 5V is connected I'm getting fast LED flashing a pop up window in Mach telling me no USB control device detected.
Polaritys are correct I have 5V from the power supply and the jumper is configured to accept 5V external source and I checked the 5V before connection with a multi meter.
I'd really appreciate some advice on this.
Eoin.
