The biggest issue is to get hold of the DC motor driver and servo parameters. And being able to punch the data back into the system atm. If i can get around that the panel has gone awol - it should be fixable. =) |

Before you changed the batteries it was saying it had an over heat issue. This went away when you changed them. Did you leave the power ON as you changed the batteries? They are retaining RAM memory, and even if down to a few hundred millivolts probably were just clinging on. Usually the batteries have a diode between them and the power rail that they are backing up, so if flat shouldn't affect what is happening. Always change such batteries with the power on. Obviously the cpu in the controller (80186 I think?) is running, as it goes through a test sequence and is displaying sensible text. There is probably some form of boot loader to allow you to re-enter basic parameters, but it may need switches setting on the CPU card |

yeah they went away after swapping batteries, and yes i let it run while i swapped em out.. but they looked, horrible and grimey.. they were long long dead. =) |

Iiiits alive.. well i found the original builder of the machine and he has the backups of every machine he ever built.. Because its aretrofit, the "standard" settings for a 820M system will not work. But well he went bonkers on it and flashed it back to original, and unlocked extra buffer space, so now i have 128kb internal memory where 10kb is dedicated to dripfeed. Now i just need to find a post processor for 810/820M that works with hsmworks (whats included in Fusion 360). And make me a communication cable.. And i still have the option to run it on LinuxCNC if it comes down to it, but im gonna give the origianl stuff a go at least. |

Good news :thumbup: Persistence usually pays off. |
