One problem is that it boots up with a corruption in the program memory, but I can clear the program/macro and all is ok there.
If I try to bring of the FIST log, it comes up fine.
If I try to bring up the BOSS log, it comes up with corruption, list the corruption for a while then BOSS dies. If I have the 232 cable hooked to port A, it dumps some info there. This isn't a big deal either, if I just don't look at that log.
The real problem is downloading a program, I have been trying, and it keeps showing corrupt data there as well. The cable seems fine since I can communcate with the debugger on port a, but when I try downloading on port b, it stops instantly says 0 character sent, and stops. Sometimes with corrup data in for the program, usually with nothing though.
I'm assuming all my problems are with the BSP board in studying the manual, does anyone else agree. Should I remove all the chips, clean them and re-install them, some show sines of corrosion. I've removed the circuit boards, cleaned the connectors with circuit cleaner and an eraser.
Is it possible that I'm just missing something on the download to the machine, I'm starting and ending the code with a % sign on first and last lines. Sending at 4800,7,e,1 x-on/x-off, 1ms line delay, and I've checked the baud rate in the options from the front panel.
I have all the manuals, but none of the bridgeport software, if anyone can send me the bridgeport download programs I'd appreciate that.
In running some of the checks from the service manual, I have found several voltages out of wack, but given that most things work, I'm not sure what to make of it.
The 90volts from T1 is reads much higher, and the 24volt supply reads about 36. I can't really figure out why the transformers would put out the wrong voltages. ( I recently moved the machine from my house where it was running on a rotary phase converter to my shop where I have it hooked to 3-phase, prior to moving it it wasn't use for about the past 1.5 years. )
Can anyone help me figure this out.
