I uninstalled the Hotwire program from my MacBook and then reinstalled the latest version (200v), but that did not work either. The one time the screen did show up, it closed in about five seconds. It stated that the ESC was not connected and Hotwire was closing. After that, I can click on the icon again, and it just goes through the connecting procedure.

It has worked flawlessly until now.

My Hotwire is getting power (Green LEDs are on) and the RS Pro is getting power as well.

Any advice, before I call Tekin tomorrow?

Thanks,

Josh
Have you changed from your usual usb to mini usb cable? The plug on the hotwire is a tight fit and the power tabs in the usb could still be making contact but not the data+ and data- tabs.
