Soft alarm on X axis motion at line No: 30

Post by fig.11 »

Hello

I keep getting this error code once my machine spools up to carve. I have done a complete shut down and rehomed, re-probed and reloaded the file. Once the spindle lowers and then gets up to speed, it shuts off again and an error message comes up reporting "Soft alarm on X axis motion at line No: 30"
I've since blown out and vacuumed my machine again, checked the couplers (they're tight), rehome/re-probed and re-loaded the file and the message appears again.
Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Make sure your file doesn't have any stray vectors outside the cutting area. Aspire will happily generate a file with a move off the table if you inadvertently pick up something in a toolpath you didn't intend.
