    Softdog (USB Dongle) not working

    So now that I finally have my laser up and running, now I'm having a problem with the softdog.

    Everything had been working fine for the last 3 weeks then last night when I attempted to start Easycut 5.3, I received the error: "Plug in softdog and restart the software." I verified the softdog was still seated in one of the USB ports in the back of my laptop. I unplugged it then plugged it back in and tried Easycut again and received the same error message.

    I had read that sometimes this happens and I might be fixed by reinstalling Easycut so I tried that and I still receive the same error.

    Finally I tried installing the software and the dongle on another computer and once again I'm getting the "Plugin the softdog" error.

    In each case I checked the Device Manger for the softdog and each time it installs as an "USB Input Device" under the category "Human Interface Device". I thought I read somewhere that the dongle installs a USB controller or something else but I cannot find that information now so I may be wrong.



    My laptop is running Windows 7 but the other computer I tried it on has XP.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or has my dongle gone bad already?

    Thanks.

    Make sure you have the right dongle!!

    So I found out my problem was operator error. Specifically I got my dongles mixed up.

    While working on a spare computer I unplugged the dongle for another cutter and got it mixed up with my laser dongle.

    "Some tech support! please...? anyone..? Help?" .. you might be asking this in a year or two.

    I realize that the Leetro controllers (6515 and 6535) require the LaserCut software.. The nice thing is that you aren't restricted to one laser company for tech support and spare parts.
