Title: Mach 4 with ess surging issue
Post by: JohnT on April 25, 2018, 11:18:41 AM
I have an issue with Mach 4 which I am unable to resolve.   It runs fine through about 750 lines of g-code and then starts to surge.  I have a link to a youtube video and its around the 25 second mark.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVcAZpRVGns.   [img]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/S76911Driver/1pocket.jpg/img]  Here is where the gcode starts this issue.http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/S76911Driver/1pocket.jpg.    I am using windows 10.  I'll provide more info if anyone can help.

Ok this is driving me nuts.  I have narrowed down this problem to one line in the g-code which is line 758.  right when it gets there the machine starts its surging every time.  I do not see any errors in the g-code or am I missing something?http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/S76911Driver/IMG-0006.jpg

we are very sorry, that our Magic glas ball can not see the line 758 of your code.

Your image of the G-code on screen starts at line 767, so line 758 is not visible.

It would be much better to post a link to the actual G-code so others could
try running it.

Solved,  g-code was fine but apparently the computer was just running out of RAM.  New computer, new install of M4 and ESS and now runs like a top. ;D
