Abnormal warning is in my opinion a pain in the arse and just frightens people. All it is doing is informing you that things are different from your default settings and 99.999% of the time it doesnt matter. The only way to stop it is either click on it and tell it ok or remove it from your screenset all together.1) When I understand right, the "Conditions Are Abnormal" LED is just an indicator (technically an output signal OEM LED #166), and it doesn't stop Mach3.
Afraid I have no real idea how it works, it seems to often have a mind of its own and I long since removed it from my screensets so I am not troubled with it flashing away at me :)

A new condition monitor has been placed on the main screen. It will not(Excerpt only)
activate any monitoring until set.
To set your "abnormal condition" monitor. You need to have your machine in the
state you consider most normal. This is in terms of the status of various things
like "are the axis homed?", "Is the unit OffLine or online?", "is it set to mm's
or inches?"," Is IJ Mode incremntal or abs"...etc..

Hi all,I think it is possible that a limit switch signal cable is weak, because it is the cable that bends when the machine travels. It is worth it to verify the cable, or try to force the stop by shaking the cable (or so). It is worth to note down the exact location of the stop. Photograph the screen every time, to "note down", or record. You will notice that the stop location varies, not too wildly, hopefully. (when it is actually a signal cable).
I'm pretty new to the cnc world. I have a romaxx wd-1 and it is up and running pretty good except for to things.
1. the abnormal condition IL mode is inc... how do I shut that warning off?
2. I've loaded up numerous different files and it happens almost all the time where it will start carving and at some point the router shuts off and stops. I can restart it from that point and sometimes it finishes, sometimes it does it again...
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks
