Kinda pee'd off with it now John, company got back to me yesterday looking for photos, video ect of what is happening,, had a bug last couple of days, so just not in the mood for it, maybe tomorrow I will go to flat and try it again. Sent away for a dongle with the software from China, they got back to me saying it's in Chinese,, at least there English is ok, so gave them my woes,, will see if they can help,, just want the £300 of scrap working,, Worst thing is I was swithering on getting a zwo 174 camera,, would have been better going that way now I think.

What about taking the pc or laptop with the dongle to a pc repairer, even if it's in Chinese they would be able to tell what is going on

Update, what a Piece.O.s I got info from another company I tried to buy software from, so I've been over to the flat and plugged in laser and it started rattling, didn't sound good. The horizontal carrier was hanging off,, it has guide rollers missing. Done feedback and a review on eBay,, I didn't miss them.. bloody junk, communication ,junk. Back to drawing board,, will need to find or homebrew something to sort it..gave up on supplier now.. I wish I could write what I'm thinking 😁

The White guide bearings are the originals,, the metal one in the right are ones u fitted,, managed to get help from another Chinese seller for software,, took photo of laser motherboard and he sent a link to the software he sells on a usb drive,, £45 but I will just be happy if I can get it working. I manually moved the laser head,,and in start up it moved to home position no problems

Favourite tune MacLean of Lewis Very minor. The Black Bear is my favourite. Great tune,, not played it in years,, would rather play it than some tunes pipe majors choose.. Colin's cattle is one of our 3-4 selections,,, does my head in 😨

Finally got some time to have a look at the laser again ,got dongle in a week ago but just been scunnured with it as I believe I will never get it working,, flogging a dead horse job. Anyway tried dongle and it doesn't show up on MY computer,, contacted seller,, and after a few messages I got a link to download the software,, done,, 😀. Finally have software,,,, root of problem. The dongle is a security device,, and if we remember back to original I had same problem.
Nobody actually said anything about it being a security device with no software on it,,, hopefully the junk will work now,, what's the bet it won't.
