I too have experienced a similar problem to a now closed discussion. When cutting multiple (repeated) objects, the gender code resets the x-axis prior to starting the second cut. From reading an earlier discussion it seems that reducing the feed was the culprit and a potential solution was resetting the SLB. I started from there.
Equipment ALTMIL 4X4 about 1 year old.
About me: I have 2 years experience with the first year of learning the ropes on a Fox Alien X-PRO.
Problem : I routinely run my machine at about 80% feed of specified tool rates. Mostly because I am not in a hurry and a bit of caution. Have not had a problem of this nature before. (Note starting experiencing “issues” after upgrading to gsender 1.6.2) I have cut projects that had duplicate pieces using earlier versions of G-sender without issue.
After determining that the errors were not mine and ruining several board feet of red oak I followed the following trouble shooting process.
- Because of earlier discussion I powered down the SLB, not because I was convinced but it offered a starting point.
- At 100 % feed rate ran the same gsender code that I had experienced problems with earlier but only withe the desire to see if the x-axis had been changed. results - run at 100% no resset. changed to 90% feed rate - x-axis rest .384 inches. zeroed x- axis again and repeated 80% run - fail with x-axis resetting .8 inches (indicating to me that the error in code was accumulating) Ran again at 100% but x-axis reset 1,1 inches. (So problem not necessarily related to speed reduction) I was going to power down SLB at this point but chose not to because I was not convinced that this is the problem.
- I homed machine, reset my zeroes and the chose to close gsender. I reran the tests above and closed gsender every time prior to making the cuts and the x-axis did not reset.
- I have so far been able to use this work around and completed two projects without error.
I do not think resetting gsender every time is a good solution but it allowed me to finish some work. I intend to rerun test with an earlier version of gsender as well as watch the gsender code in edit mode to see if I can see when the new x-axis value is introduced.
I will follow up as time permits. I hope this helps someone and please comment with thoughts and ideas.
I am a newbie
