Hi All:
My Bridgeport Series 1 is popping fuses on axies. I'm making a mount plate
and drilling a scad of holes. 160 to be exact. I have a stepping machine with
no glass encoder feedback. So it just counts steps and assumes the stepper
makes the step. I was lucky tonight in that the Z axis konked out on me ~0.050
above the work.
Anyone out there with this experience. That when you use an axis a lot you
pop a fuse. I'm guessing since I'm using the orig old boards the transistors
might be going into thermal runaway and popping the fuse. I'll blow a fan on
them next time. Any other ideas out there?
But my real question is this. How do I tell EMC2 where to start the the
g-code program. So for my board I use two nested loops. The outer loop sets the
number of rows and the inner loop sets the number of columns. I have the
machine set in X and Y, so I can easily rstart the program and be indexed, but
I sure would hate to have to wait another ~30 min or so to return to where I
was. I'd like to just tell the g-code parser that I'm in this line and the
outer loop has cycled two times (I've completed 2 full rows) already. Is there
a way to do this?
