Building or Buying a Wood routing table.. Beginnners guide.. / Re: A couple issues

From memory I believe it said that the emergency stop activated.

My guess is that you have an electrical noise issue.

In Config / General Config see Debounce Interval - if this is less than 500 then set it to 500. Does this solve the problem ?

If it is already set greater than 500 then check all your inputs wiring which should be good quality shielded cable with the shield connected to Earth at the controller end only. Does this solve the problem ?

Do a forum search for electrical noise - there are many additional suggestions which may be tried (one at a time) and sooner or later the issue will be found.

Hope this helps.

2) the Mach3 software stops spontaneously during the project. I need to reset and cycle start each time. Why?

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the forum.

When Mach3 stops, what is the message you get in the Status bar (at bottom of main screen) ?

Hi Fred,

I am assuming you are meaning a USB Memory Stick in which case NO.

You could try but you are certain to run into problems.

In your attached .xml you have a conflict of pins where pins 6 and 9 are both defined twice so that is unlikely to work.

You perhaps need to set-up all your Ports and Pins as shown in the Longs Motor .pdf you have linked then attach your .xml (it needs to have a unique name to attach)

Can you attach your <profile>. xml file then we can see exactly how you have things set-up.

With bobcadcam I generate the G code for embossing from an image, on three axes. The progress of the program is every 0.3 mm in X. It jumps from an X, say X-250 to X-500. It does not execute the Y or Z commands, but continues in X-250.3 by performing the Y and Z commands corresponding to X-500. This he does in several points of X.
I run the same program again and the jumps are executed in different Xs.
I hope you have explained to me and understand my problem.
Can you suggest the cause?

Hi Fernado,

Can you check that you are using a genuine Mach3 license.

(If you are using an invalid, cracked, or hacked license, Mach may intentionally corrupt your data so as to not let you use your equipment).

So with your probe connected as ZASto has suggested you are still not able to make any motor axis movement ?

Mach3 was never designed to handle conditional Gcode so it is not a task it would perform well.
Although…
I am sure that the output from a load cell could be used in a servo feedback loop to control torque independently from the controller.

Check you have your Probe Input (Mach3 Ports & Pins) Enabled, set to Port#1, Pin11, Active Low.
