New PC - New CM Setup

[NancynBob (Bob Griffith)]

Got New laptop over the weekend to run Shapeoko Pro XL which I bought two years ago.Having trouble finding MY machine as I go through Setup.

At the Power Up Machine screen, Shapeoko Pro was one of the options. Selected that and XL.

Moving to Download Setting to your Machine. Shapeoko Pro was NOT one of the options. Now what?

Followed the first 6 pages to the letter. Fine.
Page 7:
“Download Setting to your Machine” Shapeoko Pro is not one of the choices.
Pro choices are Z-Plus and HDZ.

Punt was not an option either.

Do you have an SO5 Pro or an SO4 Pro? Not sure about the SO4 Pro but is is an SO4.

Everything I have simply says " Shapeoko Pro." The manual, the machine and even here:

It is an SO 4 Pro. So try SO4 and see what happens.

After looking at older videos, concluded that it must be Pro with the Z-Plus designation.

Selected Enable BitSetter. Clicked Move to default position. It got close. Finally realized that I must be doing something stupid (not the first time) and tip-toed through it again and got through all the steps. Just finished running for the night. Happy.

Thanks for the help and ideas.
