Another possibility... our power is not the best. I did have a sag a week ago which forced a reboot; luckily the chargepump board dropped out and I heard the spindle slam to a stop before I'd spotted the lights go down. Everything stopped dead, just like I'd designed it. I'll see if the IT lads have a spare UPS anywhere.
Another thought - USB memory sticks make mine go mad, the steppers bang and groan and won't work worth a sht. It's impossible to do anything. Funny business
Edit again! i checked - the stalling at the end of the sub is down to a missing carriage return. Very peculiar, I'd never have thought to check for that. I'd just gone through and deleted any and all unnecessary spaces. I'll make a point of putting in
(leave this line in, mach3 needs a carriage return above here) at the end of my subroutine file. Cheers for the tip
