General Mach Discussion / Mach3 pause / idle couple second on every G2 or G3 code
« on: September 02, 2014, 10:36:42 PM »
Hi all,
a newbie here: just finish my first cnc router... happy, but...
I can jog (manual) with no issue. but then when I run a simple gcode, I found this idle issue. I noticed the cnc idle for couple seconds when running the G2 or G3 code.
I did search in google but no luck for the clue/answer.
my cnc router configuration is: PC (WinXP) -> Mach3 -> Ethernet SmoothStepper (ESS) -> Gecko G540 (-> Super PID for Bosch spindle).
I run Mach3 and toolpath in Metric unit.
Mach3 latest version.
I am using ESS_v10p1d1g.m3p for the Ethernet SmoothStepper plugin since this is the one that could run slave homing (I am using 1 homing switch and 2 lead screws/stepper motors for Y stage).
Here I attached the xml I have and screenshoot on the Mach3 ESS general config and my PC's specs.
I really appreciate for any help or feedback.
thank you!
