    Hello.
    I am new to the forum but can anybody help me with the following problem?

    Over the last couple of months I being using a C-Beam XL with a blackbox controller connected to a laser with no problems at all.
    But now the G code generator will not connect anymore to the blackbox and I get this message:

    (Connecting to a machine, requires that you have the OpenBuilds CONTROL installed.
    If you have not installed it yet, you can download it above, or if you have the latest version installed already, please start it.
    If you still see this message, we are experiencing a problem detecting your driver
    You can also export GCODE and send it to your machine).

    I tried to reset the blackbox and downloaded the blackbox software a few times also tried it with a other computer but no succes.

    Kind regards.
    Andre.

    Use the Save Gcode button for now. It Downloads the gcode. Then open it in CONTROL from the Open Gcode File button. Two extra clicks
