My frustration is growing with the Control software. Each time I use it I get some use out of it and then at some point it becomes inoperable and I have to shut it down and restart it. I have a computer that is twice the minimum requirements. Tonight really tweaked me. I figured I would use the bot to drill all the holes for my wood table and vac table. I spent several hours getting perfect alignment with the crossbeam holes and documenting the coordinates so I could use these to drill all my holes. About 70% into it, I heard a noise I hadn't heard before, almost like I past the prox switches, but I checked and I was a good 6 inches away from them. My X, Y and Z numbers automatically changed by adding about 70 points and screwed up all the work I had done with documenting the drilling coordinates. Guess I'll have to work this all out in Excel with some formulas so I don't have to go through the physical alignment again.
I’m still new to this machine and software. Are problems such as this common and something I have to learn to live with? I assumed when I took the plunge that everything I paid for would work as expected.
I should also note that last week when I was using the keypad to move around and took my finger off the arrow key, the Y kept moving until it hit the stop block. That’s when I decided it is best to keep the emergency shut down button just inches from me at all times. Anyone else having these type of issues?
