A lot of people add a capacitor across the input.

Thanks for  info. The cap across the input did the trick.

Possibly noise triggering the input.

How DO I filter out noise if that is what it is? Or find out if it is noise?

General Mach Discussion / AutoZ Issue

« on: February 21, 2015, 08:16:11 PM »

Auto Z was working just fine. Now it will not work properly. When I click on my auto z button the bit comes down about 1/8" then pulls up the the retract distance and says that Z is Zeroed. But it is not. I have tried redoing the script using a completely different script same issue. I have rebooted and restarted everything does it every time. Any suggestions?

Hi My Name is Todd. I am from Southwest Wisconsin. I am a project Designer for a EPC Firm in Madison WI. We design Wind and Solar farms.
I have a upgraded Shapeoko 2. My machine is 1m X 1.8m Gives me a cutting area of a little over 30in x 63in. I just got in to CNC about 3 months ago. I just got done doing an electronics upgrade to my unit which consisted of a C10 BOB and 4 SainSmart 2M542 Stepper drivers. running Nema23 Motors on all axis. 2:1 Belt drive on Z axis. With this upgrade I purchased Mach3. So far I love it. My machine is way faster and smoother.
