    Hello,
    I've noticed the AUX led red light blinking rapidly on the Interface controller. The Intrrface has worked with the CNC up to now but, when I reboot the system, it says that it doesn't have contact to the controller. The connection of the cable on both ends is hooked correctly. I hate to think that this cable is faulty. What should I do? This is new stuff I'm using and I'm feeling a curse with it....

    Did you remember to unplug the USB cable from BlackBox?

    The USB was still plugged to the blackbox but not to the computer.

    I did and it seems intact on both ends. What type of connector does it have on both ends. I may have to purchase more wire, connectors and a crimper. I will check continuity tomorrow.
