# PowerRoute software notes

English pointers from the local cncu.co.za mirror (`T:\U\C\PowerRoute-CNC-Router`). **No pricing.** Firmware ZIP/binaries are **not** copied into this KB (URL + local path only; see `drivers/powerroute-firmware-index.md`). Copied English manuals live under `sources/manuals/powerroute/` (`components/`, `software/`). **Newer wins.** Support WhatsApp +27 60 600 7000.

The local PowerRoute tree is **thin**: no extra English PDF books beyond the two Syntec mill manuals already staged. Remaining English set this pass is the SBM AL301C servo note plus English (`_COM`) Syntec backup XML and the OpenInstaller config.

## Firmware (docs only)

Binaries stay URL-only. Still **3** packages: upgrade ZIP **21AMillCE7_ARM_10.116.24T** + MB/SB absolute backups for **M1F1449**. No new packages this pass. Prefer **10.116.24T** when support directs an update. Confirm model match before flashing or restoring.

## Skipped this pass

- Firmware ZIPs (`21AMillCE7_ARM_10.116.24T.zip`, `M1F1449_*.zip`) and binary payload (`param.dat`, `Registry.dat`, `cnc.lad`, `paramext.pxt`, OPLog.*)
- Chinese-only: `Param.txt` titles (Traditional Chinese; file exists online 200), `*_CHS.xml` / `*_CHT.xml`, Macro `O7913` / `T0000` (Chinese comments)
- Foldersweb HTML page-splits + JPG/PNG thumbs of the two mill manuals (duplicates of already-copied PDFs)
- EasyRoute [`CNC-Machining-Handbook.pdf`](https://cncu.co.za/EasyRoute-CNC-Router/CNC%20Machining%20Handbook.pdf) path under PowerRoute — **404** (not a PowerRoute file)
- Machine-specific alarm logs (`Histalm.txt`, empty `Actalm.txt`)
- YouTube / buythis (not this pass)
