    Re: I can NOT connect to Planet CNC controller

    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...

    Re: I can NOT connect to Planet CNC controller

    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...

    Re: Lost license on 6040 and PlanetCNC control

    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...

    I attached two images, first is the controller. Would I be right to...
  11. Re: Machine disconnects from computer when spindle is turned on.

    I had a chance to check the spindle cable. There's only three wires and none are connected to the spindle housing.

  12. Re: Machine disconnects from computer when spindle is turned on.

    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...
  13. Re: Machine disconnects from computer when spindle is turned 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...
  14. Machine disconnects from computer when spindle is turned on.

    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.
  16. Issues with spindle on 6040 and PlanetCNC control

    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...
