Program hanging
« on: June 03, 2011, 11:28:15 AM »
A new issue has come up.  Fairly frequently the G-Code program will hang at the last line.  The program just stops.  There is no error.  The program just stops after executing a G0X0Y0 and before the M30.  The result is that the M30 does not execute, the program does not rewind and the outputs stay on.  See program below.  When it hangs, if I hit estop then reset, the program rewinds and the M30 seems to execute.   Any ideas on what could cause this?  The kicker is that it doesn't do it all the time, just most of the time...and it hung up once on the first line of code.  

 It's a new machine, but I can run the same program over and over all day long on our other machine and it runs fine.  Is there a config setting somewhere that I missed?  The other machine is running a slightly older version of Mach.

Thanks

That little problem has been around for a long time(;-) Same as failing to run an M3 on occasion. SOme computers have the problem some don't. I always thought it was a problem in the way MACH handles threading of the various codes.

BUT who knows ?

Is there a work around?  Is the known issue one that just hangs on the last line or is it that the program will hang anywhere?

Try this, load the program and edit it, go to the end of the last line and hit enter a couple times.
save and run again.

Isn't this the reason programs should finish with a null line such as % ?

Try adding % as the last line.

Yes, it adds a "carriage return" character to the last line of code that is to be run (not visible)
the "%" is a way of ensuring the previous line of code has a carriage return at the end of it.

OK...The problem was not the M30, but the second G00 move...

....
M05
G00 Z0.375
G00 X0 Y0    (Hanging on this line)
M30

You could even see on the toolpath display where motion stopped before the command finished in some cases.  Any instance in the code where there were two G00 moves like this, it hung up.  On multiple parts, for instance, the Z retracted and then hung on the next rapid to the next cut.

I set up another PC (identical in specs) and it works fine.

IF it were the LACK of the carriage return it would NEVER had worked(;-).  OP said it only failed sometimes. SAME as I see here.

I just cut and pasted that last bit of code into notepad
it did not even show "m30" on the screen (tho it was in the program)
it hung on the same line as yours did
I edited it and added a carriage return and it worked fine (;-)

If it hangs up in the middle of your code with two G00 lines, then I have no clue as to why.
