General Mach Discussion / Re: RUN Button LED Blinks

That makes since as far as dwelling to long.  I have asked him and he was thinking more along the lines of interference. He never mentioned the dwelling to long issue.  Is that a setting I can change?   Just as a try, I'm posting the xml file for Hood to check out also.  I think it's the correct one. 
Thanks for the help!

General Mach Discussion / RUN Button LED Blinks

« on: July 16, 2011, 04:07:08 PM »

I've been having an annoying issue with Mach.  Not sure if it's that entirely.  I have a CNC plasma Table with Hypertherm Plasma Cutter.  Running CandCNC electronics.  When I run a G-Code file in Mach when the Torch is turning on and off the RUN Button LED blinks.  The problem is though sometimes it blinkls off and I have to continually hit Run again to continue.  The real annoying part is I have to sit there and babysit it or it will turn off and my part won't get cut.  It only happens when the Plasma cutter turns on and off the torch.  It's random too.  There is nothing in the G-Code that tells it to stop.  Also the Reset light does not come on either. Just very simply the Run Button light turns off and it stops.  Is there a setting somewhere, a tolerence setting, or something to stop this from happening.  I've moved my Computer, Plasma cutter and controller box around and tried to see if that would fix it but no luck with that.  My Plasma cutter is grounded to a seperate grounding rod from the computer and controller box.
Any help would be great. 
Thanks!
