I configured the Slave A = X last winter when I setup the machine, it has worked perfectly since. After a month of idle time it just stopped working. I'm going to reload mach3 to see if it resolves the problem. If I power down the cnc machine before exiting mach3 it hangs (no response), I've done this a couple times and suspect it may have corrupted something!

General Mach Discussion / Ref All Home

« on: September 14, 2015, 11:47:07 AM »

Started my CNC machine after a month idle time, tried to Ref All Home. The Z & Y axis move fine. The X axis moves but the slave axis A does not. If I jog the X axis both X & A move. During home the X axis will move until the gantry angle is such that it stalls and chatters. This did work previously, I tried older versions of my configuration (xml files) with no success. Looking for some direction as to what might have changed.

Hardware Gecko G540 4 Axis stepper
Software Mach3 vr3.043.066, ESS v10r2d1d
