DIY Arduino ATC Pathpilot....

Tried that and get the same error. PP is looking for something it cannot find.

Remember this is a NON Tormach machine and it does NOT have the atc card and it appears to be looking for it but cannot find it.

Oh, I'm not sure I knew that.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can be much help in that case, hopefully someone who has gotten it to work chimes in.

Update minor progress. I worked on the rules a bit and got PP to ping the Arduino and the Arduino signals back but PP does not like what it says so it shuts the ATC mode back down. Not having any idea what PP is looking for when it pings the Arduino make it tuff to figure this out.

The Arduino is working as I can talk to it with the Arduino IDE serial monitor. I can ping it with VE and get the responce.info back.

So now to figure out what PP did not like when looking for the ATC.

Snow do you know IF any of teh pins on the Arduino need to be jumpered to emulate the ATC is ready to run. I see in the PP atc code IF anything is not reporting as correct then PP shuts down the ATC function all together. Things like PDB or VFD not responding. ONCE I get PP talking to the Arduino then I can figure out the rest maybe (. At this point I am not sure if it is a comm issue or a setup issue with hardware.

Perhaps you could check with your friend who wrote all the code. He seemed to make it work.

I fired off an email, will report back if he replies
