General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Estop triggered when spindle stops
« on: August 14, 2022, 06:16:18 PM »
I've been have a issue for the last 3 month that randomly started and I can resolve, previous to this it was running great for 6 months.
I use Veteric aspire form my tool paths and to generate my Gcode, I use the ATC arc for my post processor.
When the tool path is complete the spindle is supposed to stop for the tool change but it doesn't it just throws a estop alert, not every time but 90% of the time.
I have to turn the VFD off and on then I can continue.
Ive tried turning the debounce up, its currently at 4000 but am out of ideas now.
I'm running windows 10 and mach 3 R3.043 (can confirm this tomorrow when in the workshop)
Tempted the do a reinstall mach 3 maybe something has become corrupted (I am quite clueless in windows used Macs for the last 15 years) or maybe reinstall the whole system?
any help will greatly be appreciated
