General Mach Discussion / Servo system 'lost position' but not zero
« on: July 03, 2023, 12:55:03 AM »
Hey Folks,
I just set up an Ultimate Bee system running ihsv57 servos for a sort of grand pen plotting experiment. I'm still taking it through its paces and just ran into a strange issue. I was running a long file and a few hours in it appeared to lose it's zero, I paused the job, and noticed the mach3 digital display appeared to also be off? I didn't get a screenshot but I tried to mock it up in the second image attached. What's odd is that the machine didn't lose it's zero. i hit 'return to zero' and it went right home, and then I ran from the middle of the file right where the error started and it started right back in the correct position.
A mystery to me, but seeing as it rendered the error in Mach3 I'm wondering if there is something I'm missing. anyone see this before or have any ideas?
Thanks!
