General Mach Discussion / No Motor Movement When Running GCode
« on: June 02, 2016, 02:05:10 PM »
Hi,
I've been having a series of issues today and can't seem to get to the root of the problem. I went to run my GCode and got an error "external estop requested." I switched the estop active low in pins and ports to fix that, then I was getting an error "machine out of limits for soft limit activation." I had to enable auto limit override in settings to fix this. At this point I again attempted to run my code. I can see the computer stepping through my software, the xyz axes are changing values, and the coordinate system that shows my path shows spindle movement. But the actual motor doesn't budge. I tried messing with soft limits again in case it thought it was past the limit, and finally turned all limits off, but to no avail. The hand controller works perfectly. I'm pretty sure I have some settings awry somewhere and the machine seems to be out of sync with the computer. What can I do to fix this?
