What model SmartBOB?   PMDX-424

You list a firmware version.  When you go to either the Configure menu, does it show you BOTH a bootloader version AND this firmware version?
YES...Bootloader Version: 1.13.73 \ Firmware Version: 0.58.205

If so, it sounds like the push button on the SmartBOB is either faulty, or the button is being pressed and held pressed (by something, maybe the panel is skewed if you have a PMDX-412/414/416 with the panel), or maybe something is shorting a pin on the circuit board to make it LOOK like the button is pressed.

Does your SmartBOB have both a red and green led, stacked one on top of the other?  YES

With my boards here (PMDX-414 and 424), the red LED is on solid and the green led flashes when the boot loader is running. THAT IS THE CASE WITH THIS ONE AS WELL. SOLID RED AND FLASHING GREEN.

When starting Mach4, I am getting the following error popup...

Error: PMDX-SmartBOB-USB Boot Loader is running, firmware is possibly corrupt.
Please see the device's User's Manual for more info.

Also, the red LED is flashing on the board itself.

SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PMDX-407 Spindle Speed Control

« on: April 23, 2018, 01:25:18 PM »

I have a 424 with the 407. Currently, the spindle control is only allowed to go as low as 9600RPM. I have some projects requiring a spindle speed of 7000 rpm. How can I change the setting to allow me to go that low with RPMs?
