General Mach Discussion / Re: Program Just stops

« on: November 13, 2023, 09:52:44 AM »

I honestly cant remember operating system I want to say it is windows 10.  I will check that, I know the screen saver come on.  It can happen on very first op.  I am also going to find a shielded usb cable or try the Ethernet cord again.  Forgot to add sometimes at the end of a program it start to retract z and just stops as if it was already back to G28.  I also notice while jogging when I stop moving the axis it makes a volant noise when it stops.  I did not think in Mach3 you can jog both X and Y at same time but sometimes it lets me and others it will not do it.  Thinking maybe I need to reload Mach3 but it will have to wait until after I finish this order.

General Mach Discussion / Program Just stops

« on: November 11, 2023, 03:20:50 PM »

Ok, have been using Mach 3 on old computer and had minor issues.  Upgraded to new computer and better board(pokeys 57 cnc board).  Now have issue with every program.  It either will not load and I have to cancel then reset then regen tool path.  The sometimes machine moves and cuts one thing and just stops and I cant reset program and spindle keeps going.  It also will cut and then on z retract just stops and shuts spindle off.  Any input would help as I am about to stop using this and upgrade to Centroid.  I am in the middle of a project that in the past has taken me 3 hours to cut 6 pieces to got 2 cut because of the program acting up.
