Acorn won't run g code/mdi < lathe G98/G99?>

Post by pescadoman »

It jogs, runs the spindle(although the encoder doesn't match the s code), but it won't perform a program. I get a random communications error. I'm running the supplied shielded ethernet cable from Centroid.

Instead of a copy of your license file, try posting a current Report file from your control. Use F7/Utility -> F7/Report to create one. The file name will begin with "report_", and it will have a ".zip" file extension on it.

Have a look at your error log, it is littered with communication errors, this is why it wont run a file. You MUST fix this issue first before you can proceed. Read this document below, until you fix this issue nothing will work correctly. Did you run the com stress test? There's no way it would pass this test until the issue is corrected.
