Title: Unexplained Stops
Post by: Kently on November 04, 2009, 05:36:20 PM

I am running a SmoothStepper, which may or may not have anything to do with this problem. When I am cutting the machine will sometimes stop for no reason. It is not in e-stop. I can click run and it will start immediately from the point it stopped.  Any ideas on what is happening?

Do you get any mesages on the SS Diagnostics page when this happens?

I looked at the diagnostics page when this happened and didn't notice a message. But then again, I didn't even notice a place for a message. I will look again.

Not so much a message box but it has all sorts of messages like IsStill etc see which ones have a check in them when it happens again.

I see that the IsStill indicator is on. I guess that tells me that the SS knows it is stopped, but I still do not know why. Anything else I should be looking at?
