I was making the top for the bed drilling holes in it and without running a gcode it still was spontaneously throughing a estop. The more I did the more often it began kicking off even without moving and with or without the spindle on. What do you think is the cause

Hi everyone. I am having trouble with either getting false e stops or running out of data on my ether net smooth step. The gcode that I am running is short it is face milling my cnc bed. I had bobcad support look at the file to see if everything is good and it is. Soon times when I first go to run the code the z axis goes from zero away up in the + and it is supposed to go up 2 then go to -.001 and start cutting . I cannot for the life of figure out what is going on need help

I tried to edit my screen but I can't get to the menu screen when I push the button Noth happens. Another problem that I am having is I keep getting a false e stop while trying to run a gcode or while running the code it stops responding and it freezes up. I have to restart the code running from the very start.any ideas what can be done to fix my problems.

What I am saying is that as of now when I hit the go to zero button the Y&X move and go to zero. Then the Z axis moves to zero last. I need the Z to move first before the other axis so it clears the work piece.
