First off, Grifin and team, you’re awesome. You provided excellent support and I appreciate it very much.
So for the rest of you, I have some food for thought on a couple of issues recently that i’ve since worked out. It appeared that I had a couple of issues going on, but not necessarily one solution on the forum that addressed them all. So if this is redundant; please let me know.
Here’s my setup:
- 1000mm x 1000mm x-carve
- acme screw
- DeWalt 611
- X-controller
- Microsoft Surface Book
- Chrome
Problem 1:
- after putting my x-carve in a custom enclosure I built, carves would stop mid-project and not connect with easel
Solution 1:
- i removed my wires from a mesh sleeve that bundled them nice and tidy and was actually causing interferance
Solution 1.2:
- I still seemed to have intermittent failures so, I added a powered USB hub and used a USB type 2 cable (i think) which ran straight from the hub into the x-controller, and bypassed the connection which was provided. Lastly, I made sure that all elements that needed plugged in (DeWalt, X-controller, computer, and shop vac) were not running off the same circuit. I somehow believe that the draw might have had something to do with it.
So - if it helps one person, i’d be happy. Hopefully you haven’t taken the time to read all of this to be annoyed - but again; my issues weren’t the typical ones listed in one single post which made troubleshooting a bit more difficult for a newb like me.
Good luck folks
