I'll do that check myself, thanks for the suggestion.

The Limit LEDs are all dark.  No message appears while the code is frozen on the screen.
The real puzzle is why this would work on one machine and not the other. 
Thank you for trying to help.  I'll keep at it.

General Mach Discussion / Can 'jog', but G-Code does not run....

« on: July 25, 2013, 02:07:32 PM »

I am trying to switch from one computer to another for the control of an XY stage.  Everything works fine using the older computer, and I have set up Mach3 on the newer computer with exactly the same settings.  In fact, on the new machine I can 'jog' the stage in Mach3, and both stages 'home' themselves happily in Mach3.  However, if I try to run G-Code (which works in Mach3 on the old computer) in Mach3 on the new computer, Mach3 pauses at the first actual G command and doesn't do anything else.

Since I know the code works on the old machine, I know it is OK.  Since I can 'jog' the stage on the new machine I know that the communication with the motion controller is OK.  What would cause Mach3 to be unable to process the G-Code?

Thank you for any advice you can offer.
