The machine does a few setup moves and then stalls out when the machine gets to the The G1 X-29. F333. line.
It also overlooks or at least requires manual input at S1000 M3, and I haven't managed to get the spindle to turn on by clicking on screen.
I would think there would be an error message that the spindle isn't spinning and it would stop, instead of stalling out. By stalling, I mean the motors are jittering, making noise but not moving.
It almost sounds like a mismatched data speed somewhere, as in Mach 3 is speeding through the code too quickly, but I have no idea where to look.
It can manually jog just fine and does the first few moves of G code correctly.
I could use some pointers. Thanks in advance!
