I have a project I need to get done (of course). When I set up my handibot and did my xy zeroing, my machine stutters and won't move smoothly towards the left on the x axis. I turned it off, etc. and it's still doing it. At one time it would only move right even if I clicked on the left arrow button. Also had one time where it stuttered going to the front on the y axis. Is there any reset ability or an idea of what's happening? Thanks!

No problem at all--I'm sorry that it's been taking so long to straighten out your problem. I've been sharing all of this with tech support and the software team and it's sparked a good amount of effort into figuring out the conflict with windows 10 and how to avoid it in the future. Please do let me know how it goes and I'll be sure to keep you updated with anything new that I find!

It's also possible that your antivirus software is blocking the ability to update that .dll file. Would it be possible for you to turn the antivirus off temporarily until you've completed the install?

That "access denied" message makes me think that you might need to be running the install as an Admin of your PC. If you right click on the install file and select "run as administrator" it should allow you to delete .dll files.

I 'ignored' these and it finished installing but it won't 'open' shopbot either on my desktop or when I try to open a file through vcarvepro. So, I need help with figuring out how to now open the program.

I was able to change some settings but for Windows 10 I didn't see a way to prevent updates without turning off my internet and antivirus software so not sure how that's going to work out. I would like to be able to open the program to see if the changes I made make a difference.

Any time you want to update--the latest version of SB3 will be posted under "Current Software" on this web-page: [www.shopbottools.com]

Please let me know how it goes--I want to help get you back on your feet!

It appears I may have led you astray! I was talking with the software guys about this problem and it looks like we're figured out some of the settings in windows 10 that lead to communications interruptions in SB3. Take a look at this doc here: [www.dropbox.com]

With this in hand--try reinstalling the latest control software and be sure to set the software up for handibot--(under the utilities menu> "reset defaul settings...") Sorry for the confusion, I was suggesting the older software based on how I'd solved the problem in the past not knowing that we'd come up with something better.

Don't give up! We've found that an older version of the ShopBot Control software doesn't suffer from the windows 10 bug; we're still working to correct this in the next update but for now you can get the older version here: [www.shopbottools.com]

It will look just slightly different but has no less functionality than what you're using now.

I hope this helps and will keep watching the forum to see if there's anything else that I can do!

Have you started working on a different computer lately? Or have you recently upgraded to Windows 10? I've seen some customers with windows 10 computers have USB communication problems that cause the kind of stuttering that you're describing. Because it isn't binding up when you move it around with the power off--I think that the problem may not be mechanical.]]> Brian Owen, ShopBot Handibot ForumFri, 27 May 2016 13:36:56 -0400 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,1514,1546#msg-1546 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,1514,1546#msg-1546 Vogt886 Handibot ForumThu, 26 May 2016 19:08:13 -0400 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,1514,1545#msg-1545 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,1514,1545#msg-1545
Just wondering--although there was stuttering when you manually moved the X axis--was it easy to move it from side to side with the power off? There is naturally a little bit of stuttering when you back-drive the stepper motors. I'm curious because it may help us figure out if your issue is with the motors or with your bearings.

Before I try to align, being mechanically challenged, I want to be sure I do anything it might be otherwise so I don't mess it up. I am one who will try, with instructions to do it. I did find the instructions and may give it a try but wanted to be sure someone might not think it's something else. I did not try to 'cut' anything, just was doing the zeroing...thanks, Robin]]> Vogt886 Handibot ForumMon, 23 May 2016 20:21:30 -0400 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,1514,1524#msg-1524 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,1514,1524#msg-1524

I think you are more mechanical than you make out, you've made it this far...

If you really aren't, maybe you can get a mechanical spouse or freind to help.
