Hi Gang,
I used the Newfangled Solutions conversational to design the attached simple trimmer router mounts to upgrade the Z axis on my homebrew machine.
In essence, it first cuts a keyway across the parts, then goes to cut a circle out of the inside, and then finishes by cutting a rectangle on the outside. The result is two halves of rectangular bracket with a 2.5" hole in the middle that can be bolted together to clamp the router in.
Seems simple, but Mach loses it's mind after cutting the first half of the first circle. On line 73 the machine halts. It just sits there. It won't do anything else until I give it a stop command. That's strange enough, but get this:
Whatever happened also reversed the homing direction settings. After the error, I tell it to reference home, both X and Y move the wrong direction.
The machine has home switches but no limit switches. I did set the homing directions correctly per the video, but something about this G-code flips it back to the default setting. It's a reliable error- same thing happens everytime at exactly the same place.
I ran the code on another computer (with no machine) and it seemed to go just fine. So I upgraded my main machine to the 2.0 Release lockdown and that didn't work.
Does anyone have any wisdom they can share with me? many thanks in advance!
Cheers, Jim
