SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / VistaCNC Pendant problem
« on: January 13, 2016, 07:04:49 PM »
I just received a new P1AS Pendant for use with Mach4. I have upgraded the pendant firmware to mach4 according to VistaCNC instructions and I have put the Vistacnc plug-in files for Mach4 into the plug in folder. My Mach4 mill is configured with a PMDX-126 and PMDX-411 and everything runs just fine. I am using the latest version of Mach4 2.2803 and the latest version of the PMDX USB Plug-in.
The read out, settings change features and E-Stop on the pendant work.
The specific problem with the P1AS is that the jog modes do not work. When I attempt to use it in any axis or any jog mode, I get a very small mobement (perhaps 1 stepper pulse) and then the machine is disabled and I get an error message:
"PMDX-Smart Bob-USB Device Error : System error(7):motion under run
I am sending this to the PMDX Forum because the error identifies itself as coming from the smart-bob. I have also sent a request to VistaCNC support.
If you have any ideas on how I can make this wonderful pendant work please help.
