Graph function in continuous loop

[slodat]

Came across this oddity this morning. When I graph the attached gcode, it is in a continuous loop.

Yes I have experienced this with v4.50 too but only when the flashing / pulsating / strobing problem occurs after Probing, as reported on another thread

[slodat]

I had not considered this may be related to the flickering after probing bug. I'm seeing this behavior in a very simple file as well. I've attached a simple peck drilling file.

[Nigelo]

To be fair, I have only experienced this once and coincidentally in the last 2 weeks, after probing followed by flickering and then graphing immediately before running job. This was all in a single session. Restarting CNC12 (and rehoming of course) cleared the issue but I did not need to use probe again before running job.

Thanks for the ESC workaround tip on another thread but did you try this on the graphing issue?

thanks, for the video, report and file, we are trying to recreate it here on our machines.

ok..here is some info on this..

this is usually caused by a macro or piece of code that does not contain a "IF #4202 || #4201 THEN GOTO nnn" where nnn is the end. Or stated another way, code that has a goto loop with a condition that will not be true when graphing (like the state of an IO).

Looking at the drilling.cnc example, that could probably mean that the statement

Code: Select all

 "IF #4202 || #4201 THEN GOTO nnn" 

might be missing in the mfunc6.mac Tool Change macro.

I'm not following. Can you elaborate?

Keith said this problem could be caused by not having the command

Code: Select all

 "IF #4202 || #4201 THEN GOTO nnn"

in one of the scripts so the most obvious script that could cause this issue could be the M6 (mfunc6.mac) script.

Check your mfunc6.mac file if you have that line at the beginning of the script, basically ignoring the script and just jump to the end of it if CNC12 is in Graphing mode.

Hope that explains it.

Hi Slodat,

After reloading your report and your job file, i am unable to replicate your issue on my end atleast. However, after experimenting for a while i may have something for you.

In this particular case i do not think it is a "loop" caused by a macro, they seem to be fine in this case, but never hurts to double check them.

Could you try disabling your touchscreen or temporarily try plugging in another monitor? Reason i noticed after it has graphed, if you click anywhere on the cnc12 window it will "reload" the graph again.

My thinking is that you may have debris on your touchscreen or something causing it to "touch" without input causing the graph to continuously reload.
