I’m not sure whether this is related to the super longboard or gsender. I was running a file on gsender and decided to bump up the spindle rotation speed. The spindle responded and continued moving along the X axis for about 1 inch (a 3d finishing tool path) and stopped moving, spindle was still spinning at the new speed. gsender didn’t error and stop. I hit the stop program button on gsender but the program did not respond and the spindle continued to spin. I hit the Estop button on the Superlongboard and the spindle continued to run! I unscrewed the power cable to the spindle to stop it. I had to power off the alt mill completely and restart gsender to get everything reset. The file is now running again from the beginning and is working correctly. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks, I’ll check for updates.
Not sure if you have more to share in this @kimsey.pollard, but it’s possible that if you were using an older version of gSender you had some sort of disconnection - or maybe you unknowingly bumped the USB cable. Has this continued happening to you since?
It has not happened again. It was using the latest version of Gsender at that time (1.4x I’d guess). In my post I pointed out gsender was not functioning and hitting the Estop also failed to stop it. Only pulling the power control cable on the spindle stopped it.
That’s definitely odd, you mean the physical e-stop right? That typically hard turns off all movement and accessories.
I suppose unless you have any other details to provide I’ll just close this for now and if anything similar comes up you can make new topic about it
