Never received the Read Failed error prior to removing the optical isolator on the usb started right after removing it, but seems I don’t have the stepper motor stalling issue with it remove doesn’t...
Been having ongoing problem with stepper motors on x and y axis intermittently stalling and then restarting causing machine to loose position. At first thought it was bad connection on gecko drive...
Yes I actually built the machine see the pictures, I built it and used MDF wood that I routed by hand for the parts that are machined aluminum then used the machine made with the MDF to machine the...
I upgraded to 434

Cutting a pocket, using Fusion 360 which creates the g code. The pocket is intricate, problem is it seems to being small circles in the tight corners and the machine is jerking slightly as if it is...
Had a problem with both my X and Z drive, turns out it was the connectors on the Gecko drives. Very difficult problem to trouble shoot. My Z axis became unstable very quickly and went from...
Post Processor for Fusion 360, I built a DIY 3 axia router, built to mill aluminum, 40 mm anti backlash ball screws, 3 hp spindle, stout machine. My programing computer hard drive crashed, new hard...
Works great setup 4 buttons thanks

Thanks for your help the stepper motors are connected to the control panel with plug connectors, it was easy just swapped two plugs. Switching the z and x cables moved the problem from the z to th x,...
Having problem with the Z axis, started out intermittent. The Z axis stalls or slows down with the stepper motor chattering. When it slows down you hear the stepper motor chatter. When it stops you...
I am trying to do c code when adding a button. I want to add three buttons one to move x to 0 one to move y to 0 and one to move z to -.75. I tried the move command but when I move to my zero...
Just an update, I did all the upgrades as in the previous posts. I have run the machine for 3 days without a G code error, still concerned, will have to wait and see if this did the trick.

I upgraded to version 4.34, in checking settings I found under M0 - 30 there is " Halt- Executive Prog - Thread 2 - Var 0 - C File - "C:\KMotionSrc\C Programs\Safe Z_SpindleOff.c" I do not have a...
Updated the drawing I submitted that was put on the Wiki site.
Updated drawing includes grounding of shields for limit switches, grounding of spindle and VFD, energy dump circuit, removed...
G Code error work in progress
The good !
Grounded spindle cable shield on both ends, at spindle and at VFD.
Moved limit switch cable shields from chassis ground to 24vdc power supply...
Thanks for the replies, I installed a solid state hard drive and have a new thumb drive I will use. I upgraded to version 4.34 and copied the data files to the upgraded version. When I added the...
Ran chkdsk on thumb drive and hard drive no errors.
I do eject I do not just pull out thumb drives.
I did buy a new thumb drive and will use the new one.
Pin 16 o JP11 is connected to...
I finished the part that took over 5 hours without error. I went to reface the spoil board a simple back and forth cut. I ran the program and took off .003 with out problem 30" X 30" by .003 cut with...
Ran program again, ran it from the USB and with tool in spindle cutting material to see what g code error message I was getting after 5 hours the program did not fail finished the part. Intermittent...
I copy my g code from my computer in my house to a usb thumb drive and use the usb thumb drive on the machine's dedicated computer to load the g code into kmotion. Am I understanding what you are...
I am running version 4.33 on open loop stepper motors. I am in the process of making the parts for the gantry for my machine. The sides of the gantry pictured below were machined out of 1" aluminum....
Ran g code as simulation ran if a few seconds no error, I am able to switch off power to gecko drives and spindle and ran g code as if cutting material, ran for over five hours, completed g code with...
Huge problem machining a 1" thick piece of aluminum 28" x 12" with

Thank you I will try it and let you n know if it works thanks

Built a 3 axis cnc router running kmotion, presently using a autodesk rs-274d slightly modified post processor that was modified by autodesk, works great for fusion 360. Now I want to use aspire...
To describe the vibration, with your hand on the machine you feel it but there is also a sound change not a rubbing sound but that is closest way to describe it. It seems to me that as the z axis is...
Set the break angle to 14 and all is good now, not shaking like before and I did set the jerk back to 1e+007. There is a slight vibration but my gantry is over 250 lbs and there are a lot of little...
