Techno Post

I am using QuickCAM 3D version 3.70.70 to convert stl files for my Techno Patriot 1410. I'm using Techno CNC Interface version 1.421.29. When I export the file to the Techno-G-Code, it puts some extra at the beginning of each file. It is consistent. I am only cutting out F1 body blanks in this route...

Re: Microrouter Compact numbers change but the machine does not

Thanks for the links. I did vacuum the E-Stop button and it is working. I put some electrical tape over the openings in the button. Still, I will order an E-Stop so I have one for a backup. Thanks again for the help. My students are happy to have the machine back and running.

Re: Microrouter Compact numbers change but the machine does not

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. When I took the picture of it last night, the relays were closing and opening. When I tried it this morning, they worked one time and did not work the next 5 tries. So the Estop button works intermittently. The router runs when the Estop works. Thanks for your help a...

Re: Microrouter Compact numbers change but the machine does not

The relays in the picture all move when the estop is pressed and released. If I am correct, that should be telling me the Estop button is working. Am I looking at the correct relay? It is marked Emergency Stop.

What should I try now?

Re: Microrouter Compact numbers change but the machine does not

Is there an easy way to test the Estop button to see if the AC part is not working?

Re: Microrouter Compact numbers change but the machine does not

The Emergency Stop button works. When I press it, it displays on the VR Milling program. When I release the stop button, it changes the display on the VR Milling program. The original error message that I got was "Timeout on ICM (Host TX)". After that message, I shut everything down, and restarted. ...

Re: Microrouter Compact numbers change but the machine does not

I rechecked the fuse and it was OK. If I am doing this correctly, I am reading 25 V DC across the red and black wires under the fuse. I am not getting any readings across the two yellow wires under the fuse. I added a picture of the wires that I checked.

Am I on the right track? What should I do now?

Microrouter Compact numbers change but the machine does not

I am using VR Milling V5 with a Microrouter Compact. It was working fine. I cleaned it with a shop vac. It displayed "timeout error". So I shut everything down, cleaned everything and restarted. I could home the router, but the z when down instead of up. So I hit the E-Stop. Restarted and now the nu...
