Hi everyone, so my cnc machine is built and ready for setup however when i plug in the usb cable from the control enclosure to the laptop and open the commander it isn't detecting the usb aka COM for some reason. i have tried the refresh button = does nothing. i've tried replugging in the usb cable, still nothing. i get the feeling it has to do with my laptop and not the machine but thats why i need your help. Thanks in advance.
Mick
Thanks mate, working perfectly now
Hi Mick, It may be a driver issue. If you are using a Chinese based controller it may have a CH340 chip on the board. We have an updated driver for it available here: https://libraries.sharpsoft.com.au/drivers/ch340.zip Extract the files from the ZIP file and follow the HOW TO - installing CH340 Driver image. Disconnect and reconnect your USB and you should be good to go! I hope this helps! :)
