So this is a new one. I have two issues on my hands.
The first one is pic 1 and pic 2 where my machine just stopped working mid cut and disconnected with a notification “GRBL not found”. I did not lose power nor did my computer turn off or go into sleep mode.
Second problem is on a different cut, pic 3; I am milling out a plug for an inlay and while cutting it just decides to move completely away from the stock and continue cutting. This is still with the first 1/4 bit before I move to the vee bit.
Are these two issues correlated? Or has anyone see this before and can give some ideas on how to fix it? Attached is the file for the second issue where the router moved off the stock.
Regarding the second problem, it’s because you have 2 “plugs” in your toolpath, so it’s trying to cut both. You need to open your design and select/delete the blob off to the right…
Oh crap! Haha did not realize that was still selected. What an idiot I am, thanks for that I should have been more aware. But as for the disconnection and GRBL notification, would that be some wiring or computer issue of some sort?
Regarding the disconnect, you’re going to get a lot of feedback from the community on how to control ESD. I’m in Arizona (very low humidity - like 10%), so I have to be careful not to fiddle with my USB cable during a job, otherwise I’ll invite a disconnect.
