Carbide Motion Jog failure

[Billy_0 (Billy Clements)]

Hello

I have a shapeoko 3 and am using carbide motion to control it.

Last year Carbide Motion (416) was working perfectly but after a year of no use the PC died. When I downloaded the new version of Carbide Motion (521) on a different PC I can connect to the shapeoko and load / run .NC files but when I try to zero it using the Jog feature it moves maybe 5mm then fails to move the router and simply says Busy.

I tried to use rapid position and again it moves 5mm and freezes. When I go into Jog the router goes to the top right until it reaches the microswitches and moves backwards 5mm as it should.

I can tell the router to move using MDI and command it to go to positions and zero the machine this way but it is more awkward typing in co-ordinates than just clicking left / right / forwards / backwards.

Any idea what’s wrong?

Thanks in advance
Billy

Please send the machine configuration per:

Setting Grbl Configuration in CM 517 and later

Carbide Motion 517 uses a new system for setting Travel Dimensions which is potentially confusing: [image] Pressing the Load Defaults button takes one to a window which allows one to select first machine size: [image] and then Z-axis type: [image] after which selection the Travel Dimensions for the selections made are entered into the dialog and will be preserved if one clicks “Ok” (and of course that change discarded if one selects “Cancel”). In addition there is a “Send Configuration…

If that doesn’t help, let us know at support@carbide3d.com and we’ll do our best to work through this with you.

That seems to be the problem. I have loaded the default size of the shapeoko 3 and its now working.

Thanks for the help!
