SmoothStepper USB / Mach3 with Smoothstepper, table that don't stop jogging
« on: November 07, 2011, 08:54:24 AM »
Hello Everyone,
I just finished the assembly a third CNC router table and I made my first initials tests yesterday. The PC is a laptop and I use a smoothstepper. My setup use the latest Mach3 development (Mach3 R3.043.050) that is compatible with the latest smoothstepper firmware (SmoothStepper_v17efb).
I played with the motion for many minutes, I ran the demo tool path roadrunner and another tool path in mach3 without problem. But while I was playing with the machine at some time, the machine continued to jog after I stop pressing the keyboard jog arrow button. Even If i pressed other arrow or PG-UP or PG-DN key the machine continued to move in the last direction at the same speed. The only way to stop it was to press the "Reset" button in mach3 screen.
The problem is not easily repeatable. I can jog fine for 5-10 minutes and then it will show the glitch. All axis have shown the glitch.
I just wanted to know if anybody already observed such a behavior or if it could be a known bug.
Regards,
