General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 stops mid cut

« on: March 15, 2022, 01:27:09 PM »

I've been having an issue recently where on longer programs, occasionally I'll have mach 3 stop, with the spindle still spinning and no axis movement.

I then can't do anything until I close out and restart.

It is happening randomly,  and well past the licensing limit (this is indeed a paid copy)

I've ran longer codes, and even the same code before without issue.

Mach3 is running on an xp computer with parallel port to a break out board

Reset isn't flashing.

Watchdog timer has been turned off

Debounce has been set to 500.

Screensaver is disabled.

It also appears I'm losing steps in at least one direction, but I can't tell if that's a symptom or a cause.

Any help would be appreciated.
