Good day, I have a Mach3 connected to a motion control card-MKX-V in my Omni Cnc machine and everything worked well untill now. The machine randomly stops and mach3 gives me this error message: "Is the Xpod inserted OK? it has ceased to respond" I have not changed anything and this suddenly starts and this has ruined many christmas projects that I have had going.
So I have checked all earth/ground connections,
I have tried to shut down everything else in the workshop except the pc and cnc machine so its not noise in the electricity.
I have changed usb cables,
I have put extra Ground wires,
restarted many times,
i have run many different codes and it just stops randomly.
I can press reset and turn the spindle back on and continue but sometimes the machine "moves the part!" and mills on wrong places..
It even stops when Im manually moving the machine. what could be the problem?
could it be the software? or the control card..
all the best from Iceland,
THOR
