AL,
I was trying to get her running just now. I found that I was NOT getting any board reading (reading zero) until the about 2 inches in from the edge (the same place that I would pick up the error msg). I reached around back of the Z motor and touched the fcc cable, got a reading. I played with the cable and got the machine to measure width, length and thickness and then went back to the same error message. Played with the cable, same thing: would work until I let off pressure of cable. It appears that I might be in need of a new cable. I'll call LHR tomorrow and see how much one is and how long it'll take to get here. It figures that after a year and half of 'playing around' with carving and the machine, I actually got some customers who want carvings made and she goes down on me...
Thanks
Eddie
