Here is what I just sent by PM: It could be a couple things from as simple as needing to close universal G Code Sender and remove and replug in the cable. I'd try that. It's also possible that the firmware for corrupted somehow. That is pretty unlikely because we check them with a test boot before we send them out, but entirely possible. Try the restating thing I mentioned above. If that doesn't work reload the firmware using xloader (its on our resources page at www.millrightcnc.com/resources).also get the hex file that applies to you which is at this link sabercathost.com/10sM/MillRight_CNC_Model_M3_Grbl_Homing.hex From xloader, the baud rate is 115200, board is uno, hex file is what you downloaded, comm port is what shows in the drop down. That should freshen up the firmware for you and get you up. If not, let me know |

That's the right hex file. It shouldn't take more than 20 or 25 seconds to upload. Do you have another comp you can test that board on?

Try a different cable if you have one laying around. (it's printer usb) If not I'll get you another board out monday.

Look at the "windows 7 with uno" that's a sticky at the top of this page. The process is the same and the drivers you need are there.
