Mach4 General Discussion / Re: NOOB Alert (MACH4 & 57CNC Issues)
« on: June 09, 2019, 07:00:09 PM »
Update: Replaced Z stepper and seems to have helped the issue. Connections are all soldered, however I am still apprehensive over how robust this is going to be.
Now we are having issues with losing connection to the Pokeys. Tried dry-running some Gcode and in both Mach4 and Mach3 the program stalls out because of a lost connection. Has anyone else experienced this? We REALLY need to get this fixed tonight. Creeping towards desperation mode...
Wondering why all this seems so fragile. Mach4 will literally hang up on Gcode, tries re-establishing a connection (which sometimes happens) and then the Mach4 software will randomly just crash. The software is licensed, etc. And, still trying to get Go To Zero to work (that's a different issue entirely, which I believe has been covered here)
Are my expectations too high to get this working? Is this setup robust and we are just doing something wrong?
