torch fires as soon as i press run. it stays fired when its traveling to next cut. I did a dry run with out the plasma cutter on and it looks good. when I turn the plasma cutter on it fires at the wrong times. Thanks Gary
If I did I didn't know I did it. Where do I look? Would this be better if I either send or bring the computer and the controller up to you and and you can fix what ever is not working right, do you do that sort of thing?
made the torch fire opposite of normal. fired when torch light off and off when torch lights on. I set the port back like it was, unchecked active low column. do you have a list or chart for all of these ports and settings when you set a machine up that I could check through and quit tying you up with this stuff?
Just one other thing each time I open mach3 I have to go to motor tuning and click ok to get the x,y,& z drives to work otherwise nothing moves.
1. All the plug ins were enabled including the ones for the systems that don't use Ethernet.
This makes it so the Hub for DTHCIV, a RS232 (which you don't use) and UBOBIII which you don't use are all trying to use torch height control at the same time. I don't know if you did that or if some how magically all the options for plug ins turned on.
2. Your windows defender was active
This can stop and encrypt the DTHCIV signals to the control box and back and cause random jitters and stop the PC from controlling the table. This also can cause a lot of trouble mixed with all the plug ins turned on.
What did we do
1. Turned on only the plug ins that should be on
2. Disabled Windows defender (sometimes this gets turned on when you add a secondary network like the network listed in your network locations...don't do it)
3. Tested the machine and it fired and moved well
4. Updated the HUB firmware (You will need to call in for a quick update to your firmware when your at the table)
Thank you Matt and the rest of the men that helped fix my screw up. I wont touch anything again I promise. How much I owe you for the fix and shipping?
