Other Mach3 Errors
Invalid Bootloader Signature
When Mach3 displays this error it means it has not been able to communicate with the ESS
correctly. In the case of an Invalid Bootloader Signature message, close Mach3, cycle power to
the ESS off, then back on. Restart Mach3.
CryptoMemory Error
On rare occasions Mach3 will display an error that reads, “The CryptoMemory did not provide
a valid authorization.” This error indicates the ESS board is not functioning properly. Check
power at the green connector on the ESS board. It should show 5VDC with no ripple. Check
for ripple by changing the meter to AC volts. If power is good it is likely a bad ESS board.
