Hopefully, he can pull the files you need off the drive.... Good luck Marty

I suggest you have someone knowledgeable with PCs check it, and also make sure it is connected properly, and configured properly in the computer Bios. It indeed may be bad but it's worth double checki

What makes you sure the hard drive is dead? Marty

Well, try and use google translate. We don't restrict members from US. or other than English countries. We are a resource for everyone. Marty

As was previously mentioned, look for the sensors on the ballscrew pulleys. You line up marks (Arrows) and then set home. The control should turn the screws until the sensors trip. My Emcoturn 140, 22

Art you did a remarkably outstanding job with Mach3. You are primarily the reason why DIY CNC is where it is today. Thank you for that. Regards, Marty

I can appreciate your experience. To set the record straight about Centroid. The motion control is handled by the Beaglebone green, not Windows. Windows is the graphical user interface. While you may

That's fine. Anyone is free to choose what they like and works best. Likewise others are free to make suggestions and share personal experiences. The posts will stay. Thank you! Marty

Thanks for the compliment. I do those videos to help those wanting to embark on the project. It is somewhat ambitious for those who haven't done a conversion. The Emco CNC lathes are good little machi

If you know it's dimensions, end connections and weight it lifts, try Gauden Springs. Just Google them Marty

I'll stick with Centroid because both the hardware and software come from one manufacturer. They have been doing CNC control for over 30 years, are actively improving the product and are supporting it

Its your money.... Frankly I won't buy anything that I can't get support here in the US. You can save a buck now, but if it doesn't work out you'll spend more to get it right. Marty
