Is the CNC working?

I have some stuff I want to cut, and just wanted to know if the CNC is running. I know last night there was some tinkering going on with it.

As I understand it, the cnc’s hard drive wasn’t exchanged due to not having an 2.5 to 3.5 adapter for the hard drive. So I don’t believe anything has changed on the computer, but I wasn’t a part if the upgrade process, so I don’t exactly know.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

I’m not sure of its current status, but the CNC computer has been flaking/freezing occasionally. This can cause a job to stop in the middle.

The freezing wasn’t because of the hard drive It was due to extraneous Windows services running. It works fine now thanks to Ian’s work.
