GRBL MPOS RANDOMLY CHANGED ???

blayno commented 6 years ago

Hey peeps ive had my ox cnc for a while now, it has limit/homing switches installed, Using cnc xpro v3 and bcnc, untill 2 days ago everything has been working perfect, but now when i home my machine, my X axis MPOS coords are showing completely different values than 2 days ago, which i driving me nuts as its stuffed up my settings in bcnc. , from my understanding, you cant even program your MPOS coordinates so why the hell has it just randomly changed. previously it was telling me my X axis was at -589.989 after homing, but now it tells me its at -55 which now shows the x axis homed at the right hand side of the bcnc work area screen, when before it was the left, i am totally confused what has happened, can anybody out there help me please ?? im about to throw my cnc in the bin !!!!

So it sounds like there is an issue with noise on the usb line and possibly some corruption of the eeprom. My first suggestion would be to check settings and make sure they are what you expected them to be. If they are different, reset the board with "RST=*" command. Reapply settings, and check for sources of noise near the usb cable - near switching psu, near router ac cable, near motor lines, etc).

If they are fine, try running the board grin universal gcode sender to rule out anything with bcnc.

Lastly, try reflashing the board.

Feel free to email me at Mike@spark-concepts.com if you need clarification on any step.

Thanks, Mike

ok the problem is not noise, i have tried many programs, ugs versions, white rabbit, bcnc etc, i have my xpro v3 inside with me, trying to connect to ugs again, ugs wont connect, plug xpro in to computer and get usb verification sound, try to connect with ugs and get this Connected to COM3 @ 115200 baud , then if i try and enter $$ command it tells me grbl hasnt finished booting, i cant do anything with the xpro v3 cheers, i have pressed reset, and still nothing im pretty sure this board is totaled buddy
