Brett, here is what I have found, trying to do some troubleshooting ..

- when MACH 3 is not running, I get "System Excellent" under the driver test.   ( this is with or without the controller box powered on )

- When mach 3 is running , with or without the controller powered on, the test then comes back as    " pulsing too fast "


I have my Kernel speed set to  25K also ...


what i did nottice also is that if i set the kernel speed to the highest and try and move the motors around ,the will skip the same way as the do when running a job .. they dont do this when manually moving when set at 25K .. but it pops up here and there every 15 - 20 min when ruining a job   

I can't go any lower in the timeing .     im not sure where to go from here :\

thanks for the reply !

also as for the driver test,  sometimes it says "system excellent"  and others it does say " pulsing too fast "       :\

General Mach Discussion / error marks in table display ??

« on: March 26, 2013, 09:58:43 AM »

I am running win 7 32bit and the latest version of mach 3 .. My steppers skip steps and loose their position.   I do notice when this happens I get a white line in the toolpath on the table display .. what would be causing this ?   MACH and machining is new to me ..

I was able to resolve some of the glitching bu shutting down services that had to do with driver detection and turning off interrupts ( irq) on the paralel driver )  I still get the problem though ... Also, I get an error in the driver test that oulse rate is " pulsing too fast"

how do i resolve this ?



thanks !
