I had suspected EMI as the cause of these symptoms as well, until last night when things got really bad. The spindle and axis motors were NOT running. I was simply trying to set up for a run. Most of the behavior seemed like mouse clicks into random locations in the Manual Control window of Axis

Greetings all; I left 2.6.7 running last night on the shop machine so I wouldn't lose my home positions. It crashed sometime in the night, before amdump ran. I am connecting the dots, and they point at 2.6.7. I'll get a good backup tonight, and the new install iso applied & switch it to maste

I was getting similar symptoms - random stuff happening in Axis, windows popping up, etc. - and it turned out it was just a cheap usb keyboard that started malfunctioning and sending out random keystrokes. I replaced the keyboard and everything is fine... - Claude On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 6:54 AM,

[Emc-users] 2.7~pre6 won't execute MDI commands sometimes

2015-05-13 Thread Tom Easterday

[Emc-users] 2.7~pre6 won't execute MDI commands sometimes

2015-05-13 Thread Tom Easterday
I don’t know if this is a bug in 2.7~pre6 or my config/operation problem. Sometimes I go into MDI screen and issue a command and nothing happens. It doesn’t execute the command and I don’t get an error in my terminal window where I launched Linuxcnc or any indication why it failed within Axis.

In regards to the "TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION =" entry, I take it that if I have "20 10 25" as the entry, then it will move all three axis at the same time, at a rapid rate, to these positions? These values would center the table on the x and y, and move my z to the tool change position. Andy, That
