CNC stops in the middle of my job

Community Support ❓ Something's Up
1

Hello,
I just finished assembling my machine and I have tried to run 2 of the sample products. The program starts and runs for about 15 seconds and stops. I am running gSender 1.2.2. The router and control board are on different electrical circuits. The screen shows the current position of the router and that it is Running. All of the jog controls are greyed out. Is this an issue with gSender? Something else I should consider?
Thanks for any help.
Shawn

Hello SKT,

Welcome to the dungeon.

Congrats on completing your machine. I imagine some frustration with it not running smoothly right from the start, but we all ran into these kind of hickups and prevailed.

First question, can you stop the programm running and will it return your jogging buttons to blue or does it no longer react on inputs? Ergo, do you need to reconnect when this happens?

If you have one, you could try and switch out the USB cable. If you don’t try it on a different port, preferably a black one, not a blue.

I hope you can soon find the issue. I had it for over a year before I found out my USB cable wasn’t always up to the task, but it would act up sometimes, not always.

I kin the frustration.

@SKT Hello and welcome! @Spamming_Eddie speaks the truth. Something I would add is does your computer go to sleep? Windows computers have low power settings so you may need to disable them too. I encourage you to do one thing at a time and try it. That way you’re not changing multiple things and not figuring out what the solution was or what the problem actually was. When you do find the solution, post it here so @gwilki can see the solution was found and he can close the thread. Hope this helps!

@SKT It has been more than 6 months since you reported this issue and you have not reported back on your progress. In fact it appears that you have not been on the forum at all since your request for help. Can I assume that you have resolved this?

Whoops, should have checked the date.
I’ll try to do less archeologic digs and check the smell before attempting cpr.

@Spamming_Eddie No worries. I am grateful for your involvement. :grinning:

Check the smell before doing cpr? Are you in the EMS business? :rofl: I spent the better part of my life in that industry.
