Hello, I am having issues getting Jedicut to communicate with my control board. I am running Windows 8.1, 32 bit. Controller is a Hobby CNC foam pro. The board and cutter runs fine with GMFC software, so I know all the hardware and connections are good.
A few years ago I installed a older version of Jedicut on the computer, and I recently downloaded the latest version. I've never been able to get Jedicut to communicate with this board.
I've noticed that when I uninstall and re-install Jedicut, my settings do not change, which makes me think it's not being completely uninstalled. I believe I read somewhere that if you had an older version installed, you had to do something special to upgrade. Is this the case? Is there a automated way to completely remove all components from the computer?

I'm using the windows driver. Is there a separate hardware driver I need to install?

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Hello Scott and welcome !

First, I suggest to completly uninstall Jedicut : you can use uninstaller, and after that you have to search and delete all files called Jedicut*.ini (ex : Jedicut.ini and Jedicut_Default.ini).

Second step, install last Jedicut release and select this plugin of communication : CncNet_XP_Vista_7.dll

Third step, in Jedicut settings, check "synchronize steppers with external timer" and set correct speed value.

Keep us in touch

Thanks Jerome!
I did everything in your response and I got a message- Time Out : -1.

I have the Timer set to 8000hz. This should be correct, I believe for Hobby CNC- brand boards.

Thanks again,
Scott

Hello,

This error message indicats that Jedicut can't read timer signal.

Are you sure about the pin number of this signal ?

Happy new year!

Yes, I confirmed that pin 10 should be used for timer on the Hobby CNC foam controller boards. Do you think that this issue could be because I once had GMFC software on this computer?

Hello ! Happy new year !

You're right : few people reported issue avec GMFC driver which blocks Jedicut driver. Can you try uninstalling all GMFC components ?

So, i uninstalled everything GMFC and MM2001. Uninstalled all Jedicut components, reinstalled Jedicut. Still no communication. I'm at my wit's end and may just reformat this computer! lol. Don't know where to go form here.

Hello !

You have a fresh new Jedicut install. Can you post the content of files Jedicut.ini and Jedicut_Default.ini ?
