Updated to V2.14
On startup, I get:
May have lost spindle orient reference, select Set TC M19 again.
What does this mean?
I do not have an an ATC.
What machine? IIRC MX machines use spindle orientation for more than the ATC (rigid tap maybe?).
770MX, MF….serial 120vac
Spindle encoder test is good
Maybe try removing any probes and toolsetters and such as a test if you haven’t. I had a bizarre encoder error on my 1100MX that turned out to be an unshielded tool setter interfering with it.
I’ve got an 1100MX and getting the same message and unplugging probe and toolsetter made no difference. Thinking about rolling back to 2.13
That’s what I’m thinking, rolling back. I really don’t like the screen greying out and flickering either when setting tools. Makes me nervous.
I haven’t encountered this error on my 1100MX running V2.14 (without ATC, probe, or ETC). The encoder is functioning, and I can orient the spindle using M19. However, I’ve noticed that the spindle seems to stop at random orientations. I’m not entirely certain, but I have the impression that it used to stop at the 0° position quite often, if not always. Perhaps I’m imagining this. Is there a way to configure the spindle to stop in the same orientation without an ATC?
I am getting this error too. No tool changer. 1100mx I run metric g21, electronic tool setter and passive probe as well as micro arc. The error doesn’t seem to affect anything though.
Same error here 1100mx no tool changer. I have not tapped anything since the PathPilot upgrade. Before the upgrade tapping worked fine.
I’ll run a tapping program tomorrow and check it.
