General Mach Discussion / Mach crashes, machine still moving!
« on: November 15, 2009, 05:16:17 PM »
I have been using MACH3 with the router that I built and everything has been trouble free for about 15 months. Recently, things have been getting a little glitchy:
-If I minimize the MACH3 window while the machine is running, the feedrate goes to about 1% and the DRO looses the 0,0,0 origin position.
-The occasional strange move: a random 3/4" plunge after an e-stop.
So I figured the driver was corrupted, and while I was at it, I installed the latest version. Things have gotten worse. After the update:
-when jogging, MACH3 froze, but the machine continued to move untill I pressed the estop switch!
I think a full reinstall is in my future, anyone have any better ideas?
