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

So just to clarify, was everything working perfect up until 3-4 days ago or has it been having issues for 6 months? The mind of its own really does point itself to an issue with noise on the data lines. The upset in home position is likely due to a change in the max travel settings or some eeprom values.

If you would like to send the board in, the techs can investigate what is happening and see about repair/replacment. To do this please submit a contact form here - http://www.spark-concepts.com/contact-us-1/

randomly just drilling a hole straight through the material and then wasteboard during a pocketing op

I had this on mine, driving it with the xPRO v3. I sorted this by adding a USB cable that provides power and clears noise. It's a cheap test if nothing else ¯\(ツ)
