Hey everyone. I finally upgraded my whole control system. Now running an Intel NUC with a celeron 2.2g processor. 8g of ram and a 60gig SSD.
I have Installed and licensed the latest 3481 Mach 4 build
I also installed ESS plugin 193 with MB2 profile as I am running Weerasaks Mach Bob 2 board which is a very nice piece.
Im having an issue where I can load G-code, setup my tool, hit cycle start, it jumps into the first line of code then the machine just sits there. In the bottom left it displays "Do cycle start".
The DROs do not show any movement changes, machine does not move, just freezes up. I can click cycle stop, then manually jog around, cycle start, still nothing.
Heres the kicker, if I close out Mach4 and re-open it, reload the exact same g-code, hit cycle start and off it goes, doing its job.
Sometimes if I hit "Cycle Stop" mid way through, it will not allow me to re-start, other times it will.
I've also had issues upon tripping a limit switch which despite clicking axis over-ride, it will not allow me to move the axis off the switch. If I simply restart Mach4, it allows me to jog off the switch.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I would attach a machine profile ect, but I'm on my work computer over an hour away from my machine.
