    Question Gecko G540 + Mach3. Sometimes Gecko will freeze for no reason, no errors.

    It happened several times during last months. Yesterday Mach3 and Gecko540 worked fine on 14hours job, Today it failed on 20 minutes job :/

    It stops without any reason, I can't get it run or jog, diagnostic is frozen, I have to close Mach3 and open again. Then it will work fine

    Any idea ?

    I'm using 1m LPT cable, and LPT port in motherboard (EPP+ something, I have to check, I can't select only EPP).

    Okay.. This happens to me last day .. Mach3 freezes and error triggered 9991. G540 went into red light mode ... I resolved the problem:
    1- Deleted all the unnecessary plugins from Mach3 plug-in folders. Do you use any pendant?
    2- Do you use any special macro in the Gcode?
    3- I will suggest you to fresh install Mach3 version. I am using Mach3 version 3.43.062 successfully.
    4- Do you have any limit/home switches installed on machine?
    5- Did you add any device or implemented any changes after that trouble-free 12Hrs run?
