Finally a little bit of progress, got the Z axis final machining done, painted the metal work, and installed the linear rails. I also made up the Z to Y plate and did initial checks for squareness.

I am waiting on my ballscrews to arrive so I can finish the build out of the major mechanical parts. Crazy how they can go from China to US and clear customs in 1 day and then take 4 days sitting 3 hrs from me... Still no guarantee they are coming tomorrow.

Once ballscrews are mounted and some initial adjustments are made I will do the epoxy pour.


So a question, I received my CSMIO - IP/A in the mail and did some initial hook up to it. Followed the instructions in the manual for setup and download of mach3 plugin. I however can not connect to it. I can ping its IP address but both the firmware uploader and Mach3 can not connect to it.

Any thoughts on what I am missing?
I made a new rule in my firewall settings to include/allow the IP address
Intially I can ping it and get flashing lights on the IP/A
after about 3 - 5 minutes the lights go solid and I can no longer ping it...

Thanks
