Turning the brain off does stop the issue but then I can not use my MPG. I can contact Art from CNC4PC about that but have any idea as to the 2nd parallel port input pins issue?

General Mach Discussion / Spindle Problem and 2nd Parallel port issues

« on: June 14, 2011, 10:45:28 AM »

I have 2 separate issues that are driving me insane....

1. When I start the spindle in MDI so that I can jog the machine with my MPG to cut manually, the spindle just randomly stops. If the Machine is running with a g-code file it has no problems. I am using the CNC4PC 6axis MPG.

2. When I first boot up the pc that runs the mill Mach does not enable pins 1-9 for input even though the box is checked. I have to open pots/pins, uncheck the box, hit ok, then open ports/pins and re-enable it and then they will work.

Not sure what is causing all of this. Any ideas?
