Computer crash

Post by lloydca »

i'am having a problem, after computer crash. The spindle can be turned on using keyboard control F6 or button in the software, but won't turn on using MO3 command as a G code command. Pretty sure I just don't have something set right, but can't figure out what.

Mach 3: Version R3.043.062
spindle uses PMW using a Leafbay 77 3/4 controller card

Any help pointing me in the wright direction would be helpful.

I don't know how you are generating the code but m - oh - 3 MO3 will not work

The correct code is M - zero - 3 M03 "should" work if all is well in your machine.

Sorry I'm using M03. TYP. line reads
S12000M03, to set speed and start the spindle, But for some reason the spindle won't start. If i run a G=code file the XY&Z axes move just no spindle.

I am unfamiliar with your machine and setup. I have a Chinese 6040 machine and I had a similar situation which everything was working execpt the spindle would not turn on. It happened after I had a slight accident and a fuse popped in my controller. Apparently somehow I lost one of the settings in the controller itself. I followed the directions of setting the controller's codes and presto... worked again. Not sure this will help, but it is worth looking into....

A lot of people have issues with the M3 macro becoming corrupt and not working. You might want to try deleting it and creating a new one.
I don't have a copy of Mach3 handy, but I think the macro is just:

DoSpin(CW)


(Check before deleting it.)

Okay everything is up and running. Special thank to ger21.
No script in M03 or spindle speed. I remember skimming through what each M code is used for, but don't remember every reading anything about being able to edit the macros. Guess I just thought they magically made stuff work. You all are awesome and thanks for the help.
