Hi Tweakie,

Many thanks for your quick reply.
I have my debounce set at 2000 at the moment. I will lift it to 4000 and try that first. If that doesn't work I'll try the capacictors. I have ferrite beads allover the machine to limit extraneous electricity, but obviously it must be something other than that.

Thanks very much for your suggestions

Regards

Terry

Thanyou very much for your quick reply. I have my debounce set at 2000, if I lift it by another 1000 do you think that will make a difference?

Hi I'm a newbie.
I have a problem with my home built CNC router bombing out very regularly on a "External E Stop Requested" fault. I'm using Mach3. Can anybody help me sort out this problem PLEASE !!! It stops the router about every couple of minutes.

Many Thanks
