Well I finally got power to my smoothie and got LaserWeb connected at least once.
HOWEVER…
I got smoothie up and running installed the windows drivers (win7) and got LaserWeb connected.
This was with the original SD card.
I could see the SD card mounted and see its files
Things looked good:
What I could see was Smoothie’s green lights blinking but the LCD display was backlit and blank.
Then I remembered I had to enable the display.
So I got a new SD card formatted it (Fat32) loaded the latest firmware.bin on it with a config file that had the panel turned on.
I plugged that in and powered on. The green LED counted up so I thought I was good, except no control panel and the PC said that it did not recognize the device???
I powered down the smoothie and swapped the card with the original. Now no matter what SD card I put in it all the LED’s are on solid all the time and the PC does not recognize the device. I even tried reinstalling the drivers and that makes no difference.
The new SD card still has the firmware.bin on it so I guess it did not flash the new code.
Now … when I apply power all the LED’s come on and stay that way. Pushing the reset button doesn’t do anything?
Uggh …
Some Ideas to try? I searched the community and am out of ideas.
