Mach4 General Discussion / Mach 4 and ESS latest update issues
« on: August 10, 2016, 08:47:55 PM »

Hey all, first post here. My colleague and i have been building a custom cnc machine with a laser attach.

We have had some issues since updating to the latest versions of Mach and ESS plugin. Vers.1.01.186 for ESS plugin and 4.2.0.2914 for Mach 4

We had it working decently previous, but now when we go to run gcode, it either runs perfectly and repeateably without the laser, or works intermittently (first time works, then fails, or doesn't work at all) and fails randomly with the laser.

We had tried to nail down specific variables, changing g code, or machine settings, we even tried the order we loaded the profile/homed/loaded code etc, nothing works consistently. But we've hit our heads on the wall long enough, time to ask for help.

Ideally we'd like to be running using the g62/63 codes to control the laser on z movement.

But we would be happy with consistent runs on a job even if it required more manual work on our part.

If there's something specific you'd like to see or have us try please suggest!
