I still have no clue where I need to be looking here, so I'm stuck with swapnostics. In the attached picture I've replaced the blue circled items, the controller I had was a MK3DRV and it was...
Nope, that's been replaced. I have two control cards from Planet CNC and neither one will connect. It looks like it tries and failed. The only other thing I can think of is the E-stop button has...
And just like that, it's working. A huge shout out to the big guy at Planet CNC. Had I seen the Email he sent yesterday, I would have had it working then. Even though the controller was visible in...
As the title says, I can't connect. I've tried three different computers, three different USB cables, no luck.
When I click rest in the planet CNC software, I see the LED on the controller flash...
This is what I have right now. This is what I assume I need, https://planet-cnc.com/product/mk3-drv/
It doesn't connect at all. I tried a different cable with the same results, even tried a different laptop. Is it possible the controller is shot? If so, I'll order a new one right away. I don't...
My CNC was working well, until today. I messed up on a few lines of Gcode and failed to set the Z axis to zero and when I clicked play, the spindle plunged down jamming into the jig I had holding my...

The motor is a: 0.8KW water-cooled spindle, 24000RPM
I attached two images, first is the controller. Would I be right to...
I had a chance to check the spindle cable. There's only three wires and none are connected to the spindle housing.
I'll check on that USB cable. Thanks
I picked up a new USB cable and it works fine again.
I will definitely check out that ground wire, thanks for the suggestion.
I do recall having this same issue once before, so I check on...
you can try to use a laptop powered from the battery
I had thought of that and tried it, didn't make a difference. I'm going to try connecting to a different computer once I have a moment of free...
Hello all.
I picked up a small CNC router a while back and have replaced the Chinese controller with one from Planet CNC. Everything was working fine up until the other day.
The controller and...
On a whim, I swapped USB cables and that fixed it.
I picked up a 4 axis CNC and swapped out the Chinese control with a PlanetCNC board and have the official PlanetCNC software. I've been able to get everything set up and it runs the program in all...
