General Mach Discussion / Re: Too fast for pulley message

You have commanded a spindle speed over the max set in spindle pulley speeds.  Change the pulley speed in config and it will be ok.

What is it like if you remove the G64 from the code and replace it with G61.

Try it like this

If GetLED (808)= 1 Then
  CODE "G90 G54"
  CODE "G00 Y1.0"
  CODE "M03"
  CODE "G01 Y20.0 F70"
  CODE "G90 G00 Y5.0"
  CODE "M05"
  CODE "M30"
  While IsMoving()
  Wend
End If

It looks to me that the maximum tool diameter is .0625, so set G42 P.031 and it should work.

On the C11G have you got the safety charge pump set to enabled JP3 pics 2-3 if so disable it. Pins 1-2

Hi Dennis,

have you got the enable part of the C11G wired to 5 volt, if not nothing will move.

Hi Chris,

try this modified version of your code, and let me know what happens, also have a look at the comment at the end of your code.
