I’m getting this with Carbide Motion, Is this a hardware problem?
From a clean start (cycling the S03, the S03 and CM/Universal G-Code Sender, and cycling my laptop as well, I get this error, or am able to jog for a bit, and then the S03 is unresponsive.
Sometimes I don’t get it, and am able to jog for a few actions, but when it does work, after somewhere between 5-15 jog actions the S03 is unresponsive.
Universal G-Code sender lasts a bit longer, I can send maybe 20-30 jog commands before the S03 is unresponsive.
I updated everything last night. Let the S03 chill for the evening and cool off to test it cold, I’m still seeing the same results.
Depends on where the noise is coming from. Remember, the controllers on the SO3 are computers too…isolate them as best you can from the router, plug the router into a different circuit (not just a different outlet, if you can) Be aware that most common home UPS’s are load-on-line until power actually fails, so they’re not particularly good at removing line noise, no better than a good surge suppressor. If you really want isolation, run the SO3 on the ups, and unplug the UPS from the wall (don’t plug the router into the UPS).
I forgot to mention, I’m getting this problem with the router off. just doing a dry run. And my computer is a laptop, same problem whether or not it’s powered by the battery or has the charge cable in.
I also isolated all three power supplies on different 3 different breakers, still seeing the same problem. I’m going to dig through cables and find a better usb cable and a ferrule and run another test, but I’m seeing the exact same behavior with the power isolated. If the ferrule doesn’t fix it, I’m thinking this is a hardware problem.
Thanks for your help and let me know your thoughts. -M
