Who did your lighting, an electrician?

Did he do equipotential bonding (grounding or earthing) at the same time?

Did he bond your table, or controller to the earth?

This is a bit of a long shot in that I know earthing is very controversial and can be different in different parts of the world.

(I'd still start off with the easy things itemised above first)

Simple...

I'd run ccleaner.
I'd post your XML file
I'd post the gcode file
I'd check the USB cable routing
I'd check you are using mach3 version 062
I'd check what version of the plugin you are using

But the last two are sort of housekeeping as it worked fine before.

Don't forget the uc100 is a USB device and usb does not like noise or electrical interference.

Check your cable routing.

Check your earthing and any ground loops....

I have not had a uc100 but I have had a USB smooth stepper and that was a right royal pain in the rear until you realise what you have to do to get it to run...

Basically it needed a stand alone electrically isolated 5v supply, and you needed to make sure any bob you used was isolated from the casing and PC.

This may be part of your problem if it was part of your lighting replacement (don't know for certain, just a guess and something to consider... May be worth a read of the uc100 manual)

Do you use a breakout board for the uc100... If so what does it look like (photo?) Or do you know what it is.   May need some photos of your cabinet setup too.

Someone else may know the uc100 well and have ideas

Are you running the latest uc100 plugin?

What operating system are you using?

What version of mach 3 are you using?
Version 0.62 is the recommended version...

No problem.

You don't need much... But if it's being hogged by temporary files it won't help

Extract from m3 / artsoft website

Can you provide a screenshot of your configuration page?

.... long shot here.... temporary files ....  suggest downloading a copy of ccleaner and running it to do a purge of all your temporary files and folders as it may be a memory related issue.     https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download


The other thing may be the lookahead setting on the general configuration page (is it set to 200?).

Do you want to post your profile *.XML file and we can have a look and provide some comments maybe (you will need to rename it to *.txt for it to upload).

Are you running much RAM on the PC?
