Mach3 under Vista / Win7, MACH3, UC100 Micro stepping problem
« on: October 28, 2016, 11:20:13 PM »
Hi all,
Switched Mach3 to an older Dell latitude laptop with Win7 pro service pack 1, 32-bit, 1.60ghz,1 gig ram, after my last xp machine died. Purchased a UC100 to use between the laptop and a g540. Per a recommendation, running Mach3 version R3.043.062. No external mice used, touch pad only.
I get random freezes while trying to micro step using the Ctrl and any direction key. No programs loaded, just the random stops while micro stepping. If i reset, then try a micro step, it stops all movement. In order to micro step, i have to move the motors under normal direction changes a few times to get it to micro step. Sometimes it works, sometimes it wont. Every time it looses motion control, i have to hit the reset button in Mach in order to move the motors. No mouse freeze or any Mach buttons stop working.
I just turned off the usb suspend feature without testing the results tonight. Is there anything else I'm missing or could try?
I have also disabled all power saver settings.
