Azteeg controller not controlling a Gigabot

Greetings -

The Azteeg controller of my Gigabot appears to be unable to sense or drive the printer. Using Pronterface (Mac version 2014.03.10) and I am able to connect to the controller (via the USB interface) all commands are ignored. The attached Vicki LCD shows a line of solid character blocks, a blank line, a 2nd line of solid character blocks, and another blank line. Power cycling the controller has no effect.

The difficulty exists regardless of which system Pronterface is run on (MacBook/OSX 10.9.2 or Dell/Windows 7).

Validated that the voltage being delivered to the Azteeg controller is 24 v dc and that the 20A fuse on the controller is not blown. Re-seated all controller components (daughter board and the 4 driver boards).

All wiring connections appear to be tight.

Suggestions on how to proceed would be much appreciated.

Thanks -

-Darren-

  Hey Darren, hopefully you've reached out to support@re3d.org as we are sometimes delayed with forum replies.

  Sounds like you need a new Azteeg! If you haven't already, send us an email and we'll work it out from there.

  Did you tried to recompile and uploading the firmware?
