Yes it reports that without an SD and the old bad SD installed. I now have the machine up and running config wise, but dont have my homing sequences. I'm having issues connecting to dwc via ethernet to the controlling laptop. Otherwise ethernet is fine if connected directly connected to my home router. I have a wifi wifi ethernet bridge on order so I can use dwc with the 6HC in situ, otherwise I have to pull the board ot of the machine.
Once I get the ethernet working in situ I rework my homing processes. For PnP there is an axis interlock sequence for the drag pin feeder to prevent crashes.
In the end my issue was an inexplicable SD card failure. The card is the original that came w the 6HC. Thanks for everyone's help.
