Was puttering along just fine with 568. Decided to try the new 618 carbide motion update. Now I can’t cut anything. As soon as it makes contact on the Y axis, the machine freezes in place and can’t seem to move. Nothing else has changed.
I tried to go back to 568, but the problem persists. I’ve taken the Y axis apart, oiled it, and put it back together. Still nothing.
Anyone know how to reset the system and get me back to 568? Apparently installing CM 568 isn’t enough.
On deeper inspection, it seems like it isn’t spinning up the VFD to the proper RPM… not sure how to fix this.
I just upgraded to Carbide Motion 618 and have the same issues.
Mine is running but much slower. It thinks I have a Compact router, instead of the VFD spindle.
Asks me to turn on the spindle/router and adjust the speed!!! I went into settings but can find no options for indicating that I have a VFD spindle.
Hi - yeah, I’ve pretty much narrowed it down to that. It looks like 618 makes some sort of configuration change with the VFD. Doing a system restore doesn’t fix it. Using older drivers doesn’t fix it. Reverting back to a 5XX build doesn’t fix it. Even using a different G code sender doesn’t fix it. I hope there is a software fix / firmware reset soon!
