Hi all,
Thanks for all the suggestions. Sorry for taking so long to get back - been slammed with a rush order for Christmas.
It turned out to be the anti-virus software that I've been using for...
Thanks Scott,
All LED's appear normal and the spindle and fan work fine. The spindle part was a brain fart on my part - didn't have the keypad open when I turned on output 1.
The issue looks to...
Hi all,
I've had this machine since 2009, and it has performed pretty much flawlessly. I came in yesterday, and when trying to move in x or y, it stutters badly enough it sounds ready to break...
Hi Don,
Not at the shop for a few days, but if I remember correctly, I'm running 3.8 (but not the latest 3.8.50) and it's working fine. I remember the caveat about not going above 3.6, but really...
OK, found and downloaded the original parameter setup, and got it working...
He means turn off the ShopBot control "Easy" mode. Click the question mark (?) and select, "Switch to FULL"
Hi all,
Yesterday my spindle wouldn't start. I checked the VFD; the run light was flashing and the RPM displays "00".
The fan runs on the spindle, but that's a different circuit. I checked...
Hi Brady,
I noticed that, too. A roughing pass was run, but the material was either slightly under 1.75" thick or I forgot to center the model in the material, which left a slight flat on it. As...
Had to duplicate these round moldings for a 150 year old house. careful alignment is crucial when flipping for the bottom side cuts!
OK, got it figured out. I forgot that the 3/4" generic material has grain specified. I had to set the grain direction in the link to match the material specified in eCabs.
Hope this helps someone...
Hi Keith,
Thanks for the reply. You have to select the material, and I only have one, so it has to match the part. I tried a way oversized piece, and still had the problem. The table parameters...
Thanks for the reply, Terry.
That's exactly what I do, but it still nests on a full sheet. I check the rectaglular checkbox, enter the dimensions, and it shows up in the, "add Sheet(s) dialog -...
I seem to be missing something obvious. When I add a sheet to a ShopBot Link job, how do I get it to actually use it? I need to cut a single cabinet part on a smaller sheet, but after adding the...
Hi Jerry,
It's home built, Windows 7 Ultimate 4 core Intel processor. I think I have it fixed. I uninstalled the USB driver, updated the SB# software to 3.8.42, and re-installed the driver. Seems to...
Hi all,
New issue with the new computer: BSOD on computer shutdown caused by the CP2101 USB to UART bridge controller, installed by the ShopBot software. Has anyone experienced this, before? Never...
OK, found the issue! I just switched my old design computer (Win 7 Ultimate 64bit), to use as my control computer. The playback configuration was still set to 5.1 surround sound, and I only hooked up...
Thanks guys,
I tried a few other thing things: Changed the encoding, changed sound card settings, same result. The file plays just fine in VLC Player and Adobe Audition, just not with Windows...
Thanks Gary!
The duration is set to 2 seconds, and the sound7 wave file exists. Interestingly, it plays fine in adobe audition, but is silent with windows media player. Missing codec or corrupt...
I installed a new control computer, and updated the settings from a backup. Everything seems to weok just fine, except there is no sound output when starting a file. The sound works fine in every...
HMM... Time for a little error checking on input? :rolleyes:
Jon,
Are using a profile toolpath? it should be available, then.
I've noticed that in the past as well. Can't change direction before the data stream has finished, it appears.
Hi Chip!
Welcome to the wonderful, frustrating, exhilarating world of CNC! There is always a learning curve, but you are definitely in the right place to find answers!
Any chance it will go back to displaying real names, instead of login names?
Outstanding G.
Something I'm sure your son will be proud to display his watches with! ;)
