So I got my machine yesterday and got it built without issue, untill I opend g sender to be able to do some test runs. It woul sometims give a comm error, sometimes it would connect, the box in the visualier would show idle. The blue jog buttons were available but when pressed nothing would happen, the visualiser box would show jogging but nothing would move. After a few frustrating hours I gave up. Started again this morning same issues. Checked all wiring and connections. Took apart the longboard everthing was seated fine. Put it back together and everthing worked for a while. Setup to do surfaceing, its a 48 30, and when started the first pass was more like a 30 30 size the second an subsequent passes were correct. Got to about half way through the job and it stopped. The visualiser showed idle, I was going through various screens in gsender trying to find an issue when it just started back up and finished the job. I played around connectin and dsconnecting, jogging all axis all without issue so I decided to try doing a.sign for the wifes sewing room. The job ran fine with no issue. The toolng returned to the correct zero position and stopped when I tried to jog it out of the way nothing worked pressing any jog button would bring up the jogging caption but no motor movement and I was never able to get it goiing again. I am running a stand alone laptop not connected to the internet. I am confident my comm ports are good. So I am down to the cable from laptop to longboard, the arduino board, or corrupt gsender. I do not think g sender is the issue but would welcome any advise. Perhaps I am missing something.
