I have been running my PCNC1100 series 1 with Pathpilot 2 on a Dell computer without any problems until recently when the computer broke.
Rather than getting the Dell fixed I wanted to move to a Mesa/Ethernet solution with a small fanless form factor PC I had from about 4 years ago. Pathpilot loaded up and controlled the mill over ethernet fine and but the PC was running too hot to touch and kept on locking up.
As a replacement PC I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pathpilot 2 installed without a problem however when restarting the PC it just goes into the bios and looking at the boot settings it isn't finding a boot partition it can use (or that is my interpretation of what I am seeing).
I have checked the date/time setting, AHCI is the hard drive setting as per the trouble shooting section in the Tormach installation guide.
As an extra check that the new PC is working I loaded Mint from a USB drive and everything checks out.
The bios is americal megatrends (c) 2020 and the configuration I have tried are:
Disabled Trusted Computing (was enabled).
Disabled Platform Trust Technology (was enabled)
Chip set/South Bridge/OS selection is set to Linux (was Windows)
After each combination I reloaded PathPilot from the USB stick again, but it hasn't made any difference.
I have contacted Tormach support but as it isn't one of their controllers they, not surprisingly, don't want to know.
Can you suggest anything else I might try or failing that any recommendations for a current small form factor computer that is known to work with PathPilot?
Dave.
