Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 stops responding

« on: May 01, 2020, 04:42:48 PM »

HI

Finally got most issues solved by installing latest mach4 version and latest ess build
All seems to work fine but when i run my g code and gets to the end or press stop Mach4 freezes , all buttons are grayed out.
Can't jog , i can turn the spindle on and off but nothing else,
Tried disable and enable again but nothing. Tried reset button nothing. Can't restart the program eater.
The only thing i can do is quit mach and start it again
Can anybody point me in the right direction to sort this out

Thanks  Laz

Ps getting Ess solved all my homing issues thanks guys.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach 4 homing

« on: March 28, 2020, 07:04:49 PM »

Hi.
I'm fairly new to this an would like to ask anyone who could help me .

I'm currently building my second CNC Router and this one has dual lead screw and stepper motor on my X axis
Set up motor0 as master and motor3 as slave to motor one
Also have homing switches on all axis

Everything is working fine when i jog the axis both motor0 and motor3 are turning and the gantry is working fine
The problem is when i try to home the machine . Motor0 on the axis will move but motor3 won't and the gantry will move out of square and to prevent damage have to stop the machine

How can I get both motors to move together

Thanks
