General Mach Discussion / Re: missing steps
« on: October 30, 2013, 05:46:37 AM »
As pc's are so cheap in the second hand market, get another to run the machine. Put windows xp and mach3 on it and nothing else. Recently I came across a problem where a cad/cam program was affecting the z axis, so keep the pc that runs the machine clean of anything other than the operating system and mach.
NO INTERNET, NO VIRUS PROTECTION, NO MOVIES, NO ATMEL STUDIO, NOTHING OTHER THAN MACH3.
Imagine your changing tools and something in the computer tells the z to drop and your hand is under the tool, you get a tool through your hand a bit more serious than a few missed steps.
