My name is Chad Cummings.  I am an IT Specialist by trade and woodworker by hobby.  I live in West Virginia and no, that is not banjo music you hear in the background.

I recently purchased a CNC machine by XZero CNC along with Mach3.  I am trying out different software packages and teaching myself the ropes.

Please be patient with me as I WILL have stupid questions.

thanks,
Chad

Hmm...I used a friends Vectric at his place...I noticed that as well but thought it was just how it is produced.  I am saving to buy a license for myself.

What did you use to check the code when it gave you the -1 problems?  I am interested in being able to troubleshoot my code in the future as well.

thanks,
Chad

I recompiled the gcode with a larger offset, less paths and shorter code.

I let that run last night and it finished with no problems.

That being said, I thought that Mach3 could handle 10mil lines of code?  The gcode I posted shows it is about 750k...if MS Word was correct but you know good ol' Microsoft is never wrong.  :)

I realized last night I was using a 3.42 series of Mach3.

I am in the process this evening of upgrading it.

Here is the gcode.

the gcode is 35meg  :(

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 loses Y axis location during code
« on: May 02, 2011, 08:25:22 PM »
So I have ran 2 sets of gcode which cut the same pattern, just at different rates and overlap and have found at the same spot that the Yaxis loses about an inch of its orientation and starts cutting off in neverland.

I do not believe it is losing steps as it is in the same spot that it happens in and it is a consistent amount that it does it.  The area of gcode is around line 284000 so I know it is within the limits of mach3.

I also just realized I am running one of the 3.042 series code and will be updating it to the new one.

Any ideas?
