DIY Arduino ATC Pathpilot....

I get an error message when I load/compile the source into the Arduino has anyone ran this code ??

(

OK I fixed the error(my fault) verified the sketch loaded the shetch. Ran the serial monitor and the Arduino reponded ok.
I did set the VID and PID in the rules file to my Arduino values
Plugged in to PP and set it to ATC in the setting page.
PP did not see the Arduino as the Arduino never flashed the TX or RX leds so it never pinged it to check for IDs.
PP then reset back to manual tool change.

ANY ideas on how to get it to work from here ??

You need to put a rules file for the arduino in the rules folder.  If you haven’t done that then it won’t recognize it.

somewhere out here there’s an example of how to do that for the usbio clones.  I’m at work currently so I can’t be more helpful than that at the moment…

edit:  I see the rules file was part of my post, perhaps the contexts of the rules file needs to change to match your specific arduino board…?

I did add the new rules file and changed the IDs to match my device. The error message I get said that PP could not open the com port. I have looked but not really found any reference to which port it is trying to open yet ( Still looking through the code.

Here is the error I get when PP looks for teh Arduino.

Without trying to muddle through it at the machine, it's hard for me to say.  

But perhaps there is something here that will help:   xoomspeed.com/CNC/usbio/installation.htm
