Re: Mach3 mill stopped in the middle of a job.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýChuck, OK so Mach3 appears to run. If you watch the status LEDs for the gas or coolant, they should change when clicking the respective button?? on/off. Measure the corresponding pin on the printer port with the machine disconnected.? The matching pins should also toggle between high and low. The gas / coolant should activate if they are connected on the machine. If you are running a program, the direction pins should be switching. ? An independent quick check that your controller/driver is working: With power off, you should be able to manually turn an axel. Power on and Mach3 enabled but not running a program, try to turn the same axel. If locked, the stepper & the driver are active. Also, the motors should get warm. Bertho ?

I currently cannot get the machine to do anything. I can command the axis to move, but nothing happens even though the DRO moves. ? ? I have reinstalled Mach3 and tried a different, identical controller, it was a spare, and that didn¡¯t help.? ? So I¡¯m at a ?loss as to what is going on ? ? Chuck? |
