Firmware Overwritten

[riscar]

Hi guys,

This is my first post, i'm desesperated with a Multicam 1000 series M CNC router.


I´ve overwritten original firmware with trash (by error) and now cnc router doesn't work.

I don't have original 3 firmware files and i've looked for it with no luch. Maybe someone could release it?

I think 3 files may be something like J2_xxx.bin, h4std.uc & h4ldr.uc


Thanks in advance!

how old is your machine

[riscar]

It's dated july 2006.

What i'n not really sure it's if board is J or K series. How can i know it?

[keesfrees]

are you without support (to, just like me right after the bill was settled :-((( )
anyway, long time ago, had lost of fun since with my MG204 ~2000
I ran into the same problem like you're havin' now when installing new firmware
the proces / program(motionmechanic) leave's lot's of room for mistakes
pretty sure my files will be to old for you, you can have them anyway, I don't need them any more :-)
I run it another controller, although the old one still works if you now where to kick . . .
let me/us now how you're getting on please
good luck

You're right kessfrees , the lack of support is very bad and always money ahead.

I appreciate sincerely if you can send me the files, I 'm not really sure it will be compatible but i have nothing to loose, now the controller is as usable as a rock.

With motionmechanich the only thing you can do is save NRAM with parameters of the machine (but not extract the firmware completely, i think) and send a firmware that you own (that three files in the same order) to flash.

That NRAM file is stored as .uc and contains something like this:

Maybe the next option will be get another controller/driver, but first i'm gonna try all possible options.

I've sent you a PM

[keesfrees]

I've got your PM
can't sent email now, server is down
i'll keep trying

[MCPservice]

OK....I need to know what version of software that you have.

Exit jobserver
Find motion mechanic
if you have a gray screen, goto Tools and goto Terminal
at the >
Goto File and capture NVRAM

cut and paste what you see on the site, I think I might actually have the fimrware file.

[riscar]

The text i paste is copied directly from motionmechanic.

I think it might be useful.

This doesn't work unfortunately.

I don't know about a DBI file, there is one mention of it on his forum though :
https://www.cnczone.com/forums/comme...ml#post1172937
But I doubt if this will be any help to you.

If I my suggest, retrieve and post your'e machine specifications here, following these instructions :

And for someone like MCP.

Also, I can not open the "Firmware Update" program.
Since it requires you to specify the "DBI_file.mdb" in the connection settings
