New to MESA

Thanks PCW, I'll get in contact for an RMA.

Tommy, I think the IDC spikes went wrong, whatever power is coming from the parallel cable is what went through U9 for a split second.

Anyway, I have ordered another one from JT on speedy postage so hopefully that will now arrive next week.

I'll send this one back to Mesa and when that comes back will buy another 5i25 and put it into the other CNC I am putting back together.... or maybe use the combo in my lathe.....

Wow, JT's service is beyond outstanding, I bought my replacement this afternoon and he has already shipped it. Can not recommend his service enough!

Have just worked out where I screwed up...... I put one DB25 connector upside down, effectively connecting 1 ends pins 1,2,3 & 4 to 5V from the other end, instead of pins 22, 23, 24 & 25. Thats what you get when you rush things, lesson learned I can tell ya!

Hi PCW

I sent an email to tech@mesanet.com requesting costing and RMA on Friday and haven't heard anything. Should I try again or just wait.....

Note to those in Australia, don't bother paying the higher postage to get something into the country in 3-5 business days, it doesn't work. I paid the extra to get my replacement 7i76 here before this weekend and Aust post screwed it up royally and didn't deliver as planned. Looks like the upgrade will *maybe* happen next weekend instead.

I know the feeling. Totally off topic but I have an online business and I sent a package to Papua New Guinea but left out a part. It took Australia Post 2 weeks to get there initially (and they are our closest neighbour). The client contacted me Monday afternoon this week with a problem.

The client was stressing and had to have it there by this weekend. Fortunately, I met a rep from DHL last week and she told one of her staff what rate to use for me and the $118 price on their website became $34. They picked up Tuesday. Their initial estimate was delivery by Tuesday 6 June but the client got it today in a regional area. So 3 days was pretty awesome v's Australia Post.

DHL is owned by the German Post office so it just goes to show German precision is still alive and well!
