Bernina aurora 430 calibration problem

Software can be downloaded from the manufacturers web site only if the models are compatible. Their web site will let you know.

There is no latch or release lever on my machine. I cannot find any answers anywhere on how to get this out of my 450 Bernina machine. So frustrating.

This sounds more like a driver issue than a software problem. The ArtLink 6 software CD that came with the Aurora 430 had drivers for XP and Windows Vista. However, these drivers may have only been for the 32-bit OS. Windows 7 is the first version of the OS to have had a large number of 64-bit installations.

The latest drivers for the Aurora 430 is available here: https://berninaofamerica.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200183069-Aurora-Driver-Windows-Vista-7-and-8- . You will need to install two drivers; follow the directions on the site. Make sure that the USB cable is good and that you aren't using a USB hub.

If you have installed the drivers and the ArtLink 6 software still isn't working, ArtLink 7 is fully compatible with Windows 7 and the Aurora sewing machines. The only download site for this software that I've found is https://www.bernina.com/en-CA/Products-CA/BERNINA-products/Software-Designs/BERNINA-Embroidery-software/Advanced-Embroidery-Software/ArtLink-Seven . ArtLink 8 is also Windows 7 compatible. However, I haven't found any documentation on the supported sewing machines.

The driver issue also applies to the dongle. Try this site: https://www.bernina.com/he-IL/Support-IL/Software-he/Embroidery-Software/Dongle-Driver . However, since you have the Editor Lite v4, this dongle may not be supported under Windows 7. The dongle driver is not updated regularly. For some information about the software limitations, see https://www.bernina.com/he-IL/Support-IL/FAQ-he/Software-he/Can-I-update-my-BERNINA-embroidery-software-Editor .

I hope this helps.

(There is a patch for the v5 software to run properly under Windows 7. There isn't one for the Editor Lite v4 to the best of my knowledge.)

Try BSR 1. I have a 440 and only one of the BSR settings works--don't know why--just is.

Manual:

BERNINA aurora 440 QE Support BERNINA


Check to make sure the BSR is firmly plugged into the machine head. Don't know why they made this so difficult. I find I usually have to practically stand on my head to find it and then plug it in.

If it still does not work, perhaps Bernina did not calibrate the BSR to your machine. They recommend, whenever it goes for service, to be sure to bring the buttonhole foot and BSR so they can be calibrated.

Probably too thick to feed without dislodging the bobbin case, causing the error message.

It's NOT a good answer!! Sounds to me like you have an short in the wiring. Unplug the machine and check all the wiring connections. Replace any frayed wires and make sure the connections are solid.

Good luck!

Hi, possibly your feedogs are dropped and in the darning position and/or its thinking you want to embroider and there is NO hoop attached or entire embroidery unit plugged in. Check your feedog button below the handwheel on the bottom.

Take it to your local bernina dealer and have them calibrate the buttonhole foot along with the speed control.

I figured out the solution for this issue. It all has to do with the threading. And I mean literally follow the instructions word for word. Most importantly is the Bobbin thread. make sure to thread the bobbin through the case eyelet.
