hey everyone!
I just got myself an LB15 for a bargain basement price, and i'm just trying to get the little fella running.
So far i've got it all up and running, starting spindle, worked out offsets (work and tool) and all that basic stuff but what i need to know is:
1. every time I try to run a program (one that's already in the control, or one ive written, or even some MDI with a g00 move in it) it just sits there with "slide hold" illuminated. i'm not sure if maybe the slide hold button is some how stuck in or something, a lot of the buttons are a bit intermittent, is there a way i can check?
2. trying to transfer programs by rs232: I've changed all the params i think need changing and i'm not getting errors when trying to send date to the pc from the CNC, but i'm only getting like 2 random characters coming though.
I think that's all i need for now.
Cheers,
Trav
