Hi guys,
Want to do a barometer check and see if I’m alone here. The last carve I ran was a few weeks ago and went smoothly, today I went to do a very basic tool path (tried no less than 5 times) and the machine would quit at varying points and return home, nowhere near completing the job.
I’ve never had this happen before, and I can’t imagine it is a sudden case of USB dislodging or internet connectivity issues during the cut.
Has anyone else been seeing weird behavior from their machine in the past couple weeks?
A few more odd activities:
If I’m being lazy and “use the previous zero position” which has always served me just fine when conditions make sense, I had one cut drag the bit through my material to get to a false zero position, and after breaking that bit, a couple (early return home) times later I tried to start from a previous position again and it plunged all the way through my material down to the collet before I could hit the oh shit switch. Neither of these zeros had been set EVER - as it was an unusual position of the material, have never set a zero remotely where the machine jogged to
One more actually - at one point I hit Z Up in succession very quick as the machine was unexpectedly plunging and it entirely ignored the top limit Z switch and sat there grinding belt
All of which I have never experienced prior to the past couple weeks -
Is this a software release issue? Or local hardware?
