    Mach2 tripping e-stop

    Hi all, this is a strange one. I set my machine up
    a month ago and all seemed fine. I got a couple of
    gcodes from a couple of guys off the forum, ran them
    and all worked fine. I since took the machine apart
    and refinished the aliumium so the machine looked
    better. Put it all back together and hooked up to
    computer and now this new problem.
    During motor tuning all seems fine, motors run fine
    and sound fine. However when i load a gcode and
    run the cycle it will only run a couple of line and
    mach2 trips the e-stop. The motors seems choppy
    and loud when running a cycle, however during
    motor tunning they are much quieter and run much
    smoother. I have rechecked all of my settings and
    re-tuned the motors still the same thing.
    I am using a the Hobbycnc 31v 4axis controller (non chopper)
    and the computer is a p4 2.8ghz with 512 ram.
    Can someone please help me, I am completely
    stumped and at my witts end.
    Thanks
    Chas

    You might want to try increasing the debounce in Config>Logic. This can help if you're getting noise.
