Gremlin's
« on: July 19, 2012, 08:38:58 PM »
Hello everyone
Some time ago I purchased a 6040 CNC
Finally put it together and started learning how to make chips ( with some success )
When I went to start it up yesterday, I found there was no signal getting from Mach to the controller
I can hear the magnets engaging in the steppers
When I use the jog option there is movement on the screen counter
What I carnt work out is, it was working when I shut it down last weekend  but nothing when I started it up again yesterday
Is it possiable the the multiple pin cable or USB cable failed on shutdown or start up

Thank you in advance for any feedback
Cheers Tony

Does that router use a SmoothStepper or could it be a Chinese controller?

Thank you for replying
It's a Chinese controller & router
I should have mentioned that from the onset

Best ask in the general part of the forum as this section is specific to the SmoothStepper.
Make a new post and if possible provide a link to any info on the controller, maybe a manual?

After a couple of other posts thought it was in wrong section
