Hi All,
I have a recent phenomenon, when running a g-code program, my axes stop moving.
I would say that it happens randomly, but it does seem to happen in certain areas of the g-code within a program.
If the move is in the middle of a program, I get a "Unexpected Motion Buffer Starved" dialog popup - then status of
Emergency Reset with Dynomotion Status: Y Axis Disabled.
In this case the x-axis is the only one moving when it stops.
The result for this case is the x-axis 'chirping and the motor oscillates / bounces slightly with each chirp.
In the second case it is the last move in the program so I don't get the motion buffer starved dialog.\
I do get the Emergency Reset with Dynomotion Status: Y Axis Disabled.
The result for this case is the x-axis 'chirping and the motor moves forward slightly with each chirp.
I have attached pictures of the screens.
I have taken video but they are too large to upload in my opinion ( 3M & 6M in size).
I can forward these if needed.
My understanding is that the main fault for the drive (SnapAmp) is over current.
I have tried de-tuning the axes - reducing the V,I,J settings to reduce the current peaks - this has had no
apparent effect. Verified that it did reduce the current via K-motion step response curves.
I hope someone has an idea of what could be causing this - as the system has been working for some time
without this happening. To my knowledge, nothing has changed - I definitely have not changed the firmware
or Mach3.
Thanks in advance for the ideas / assistance.
Matt
