Re: Tripping rcbo and coms issue

Hi all, I ended up bypassing the comms board with a cheap breakout board https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283139069422 which has allowed me to use the machine for the past year.

Tripping rcbo and coms issue

Hi, I recently acquired a microrouter and control box (with red-seven-segment control board). Serial number H001393 I got it home and was able to make it follow some G code which was quite a thrill. The next morning I went to have a bit more time on it and when I turned on the control box it tripped...
