Every time I home my Altmill the speed on the normal is extremely slow when I go to jog it. I have to go into settings and reset it every time. Any solution to this problem?
What version of gSender are you running? When you say normal speed is slow, does that mean the feed rate value has been set to a very low value here?
Thanks for the reply. I’m using the latest version of gsender on an Altmill. Never had this happen with the older version.
It tends to reset the normal speed to which is 3000 inches to a very slow crawl. I’m wondering if it is converting the settings in normal to mm?
Just happy that I can readjust it before I start carving.
Thanks Stan
We rarely convert values to metric anymore; our new approach is to display everything that utilizes units in mm and then convert to inches when necessary.
Are you doing regular homing or single-axis homing?
If you’d like, you could share your diagnostics file to help us debug the problem. You can download the diagnostics file from the stats page:
Thanks for getting back to me.
Unfortunately the overview screen is not functioning at all.
No job total no record of alarms and the download diagnostic file button is nonresponsive.
Should I download a fresh version of the program?
Thanks Stan
Just discovered that a few features were not working. Thought it would signal a new update like before but did not happen. So I uploaded the recent G Sender and although the normal speed was still wrong the diagnostic page was working. I have attached the file. Hope that it helps.
Also since I recieved the machine I have to start emergency stop twice to get my spindle speed to reach the target speed of 18000 in the spindle window.
Attached is the diagnostic file.
