Hi,
I'm a complete CNC newbie, so I'm probably missing something basic... at any rate here's my setup:
CNC Router Parts PRO4824
Mach 4 v. 4.2.0.2914
Pokeys Mach4Plugin v. 8.01.0.3017
Pokeys 57CNCdb25 v. 4.1.64
Gecko G540 rev. 8
So far have not been able to get any reliable connection on my machine - and no motion either.
Keep getting loads of "Connection with the device lost" - "Connection re-established" - "Error while configuring pulse engine - pulse engine not enabled" - "E-Stop Condition" - "E-Stop Cleared!" (The e-stop is currently jumpered on the gecko - and I have a green light on the gecko, so I don't think there is any issue there...)
Adding to all the headache is that then it loses my motor configurations every so often...
I saw that the Pokeys Mach4 plugin was built for Mach 4 version .3017 - but all I can find on the Mach website is version .2914 - don't know if that is the heart of the issue or not...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
