General Mach Discussion / Re: Machine goes crazy following tool path,

I think we figured this out. I was running the gcode off of the flash drive. Soooo...the machine wants to go to sleep - transferred all to the hard drive and it seems to be working fine. I think it was skipping steps and then taking up after a gap, I think we're ok now, but I have purchased a refurbished XP machine with a clean hard drive and more system memory to run the CNC with. I think that's a good precaution. I retired the xp machine a few years ago because it was having memory issues, and other instability issues. Sometimes we forget why we retire these machines. We'll see. Thanks for your help. I may be back.
