Re: Problems with my Gcode or is this a glitch?

You were absolutely right. It was the g28 commanding a return to home position that the program was getting stuck on. When you asked me if my home position was within my soft limits I incorrectly assumed that if my limits were 0.000" max and -11.500" min for my Z axis then my home position...

Re: Problems with my Gcode or is this a glitch?

Thanks for the update. I totally understand. I'm going to try removing and reinstalling everything this week and let you know if that fixes anything.

Re: Problems with my Gcode or is this a glitch?

I wish it were that simple, but I don't think that it is. I have homing switches on my machine and reference all axis before doing any of the steps I listed. They are in fact all green and my tool change position is within the machines limits at: X 0.375, Y -2.9 and Z -0.083 (my Y axis switch is tri...

Problems with my Gcode or is this a glitch?

I haven't been able to do any machining in awhile because I keep running into the same issue and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. The problem seems like a tool length offset issue that is causing things in the z axis to want to shoot for the sky and trigger my softlimits during the first tool cha...

Re: Probe occasionaly fails to stop and crashes into part

Thanks so much. I rewired my probe as you suggested and have been using it everyday since without any surprises. On a side note I'm really liking the ability to use a touch pad and probe on different pins in your new beta release. It's been working great and since I didn't have any luck when I tried...

Probe occasionaly fails to stop and crashes into part

I've had machstdmill pro for close to a year now and I've watched my machine try to drive my wildhorse probe through my part and into the table several times now and I cant figure out why it keeps happening. My mill and control box is the first I've built so I was pretty sure the cause was something...
