Techcenter21 Where to start?
Posted: Mon 25 Jul , 2016 22:21 pm
So I am a young technology teacher in Colorado. I have just taken over a classroom with a plethora of old equipment that has not been used in about ten years. Although I have a fair bit of experience with solid modeling and three dimensional printing my electronics skills are lacking.
In my classroom I discovered a Techcenter21. The machine is still attached to the Windows 2000 machine that it was originally set up with. I located the key was able to get the computer to recognize the machine. However, the CNC is unresponsive when sending commands from the CNC software.
I am wondering if the problem is as simple as a missing power cable. The machine has one power cable on the rear right hand side and a similar port on the left side. Where would you go to start the troubleshooting process?
Thanks,
