Hi Everyone

I know the whole Dll & firmware thing has been done to death, BUT.....

I have a HPC 1290, Its been laid up for a while,

I have a few really basic questions.

should the machine X & Y from initial power on (ie not connected to a PC) - it will datum. (from the PAD03)
I guess the datum thing tells me that the controller outputs & the drivers & steppers are ok.

It can also datum from the PC but again no X Y movement... I also get the Dll error when trying to run a file...
Im sure its just me not knowing what I'm doing - but i am wondering if the Controller is faulty - i guess i'm looking for a basic explanation of what the controller needs to do what it does.

LaserCut 5.3 (white dongle)

Thanks in advance - Steve
