Hi everyone, Im new here, obviously. I had a little trouble yesterday and I was hoping you guys could help me out
I was in the middle of a program last night before I left work. All of a sudden I lost my code, the machine stopped and Mach3 stopped responding and closed
After a year and a half of using it I was very surprised. This had never happened before. When I got Mach restarted and couldnt get onto my network drive (the switch got unplugged) I realized that Mach must actively read the Gcode from where ever the file is located.
My question is this... Is there any way to load the code into the computers memory instead of reading it as it goes? Luckily I was doing a relatively simple pocket and was able to get going again but if this had happened while I was doing a V-groove I could have easily ruined a $250 dollar sheet of material.
