Can't load a file

[wildwalker]

Hi there
I can't get started running a file. I have watched the videos a number of times but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. After I have homed my machine and set xyz to zero when I hit Run/Pause it goes to the last  screen in my attachment instead of letting me load my file. My 8 g USB is formatted to Fat32 . I have tried this dozens of times. I hope I have explained myself well enough.

Thanks in advance.

What machine?

[wildwalker]

The 24" x 24" Axiom Pro V5 Series. I bought it well over a year ago but am only now getting it setup to run.

That sequence doesn't look right to me. Also, I don't understand how you can get a -769 value for X with a machine that only has maximal x of 610.
I'd start fresh by shutting off the machine, waiting a minute and turning it back on.
1) Home the machine after you turn it on by hitting Origin/OK (as you've done).
2) It should take you to the 0,0 position on the deck (front left), which could be any set of displayed coordinates depending on how you've set your specific Origin.
3) If you want the Origin for your job to start at 0,0 on your deck, you press "XY-0" on the controller, and you should see 1X and 1Y set to 0.
4) Set your Z tool height where you want by hitting toolset with the puck in place, or move the bit to desired Z0 and hit Z-0 button.
Now you bit is in position to start the job.
You'd now press Run/Pause to load the file.

Perhaps just hitting "Toolset" to set XY is messing things up.

After I hit Origin/OK my screen says x-695 and y-638, I didn't use toolset this time to set z-0 but I get the same result as always, after I press Run/Pause the Home Wait etc, etc screen comes up instead accessing my USB. I'm just learning so I'm not clear even though I feel like I am doing exactly what I am supposed to do after watching the videos on loading a file. Thanks for you help.

After you restart the machine and do the "All Axis Home", what does your controller show when you press the XY->0 key? It should show something like 1X 0.000, 1Y 0.000.

I totally understand where you are right now. It's a lot to swallow at first.

After I do the  "All Axis Home", the spindle goes over to the corner, I then hit Run/Pause. I have attached to show what happens. The numbers for x and y always give me a different reading. I then move the spindle to the center of the table and perform the tool set. The best way I can explain it is to show this diagram again.

I have been working on this for two days without any success - except once after pressing Stop and trying other random inputs I actually got a file to work (with no bit of course)

I really hope I am explaining myself clearly.

It seems to me your machine is not zeroing properly.
In your second picture, does the screen stay that way even after the spindle moves to the home position? If so, hit the red Stop button instead of Run/Pause.
I do know that my machine will sometimes hang like that (with a different message). If I hit Stop the machine clears the screen correctly.
If I hit Run/Pause it does not clear correctly, and I get values that are beyond my bed dimension (610 by 910 for the 2x3 foot bed) like you are seeing in your third screen shot.
If the screen clears properly, move the spindle to the center of the table and hit XY->0 button. That should set the x and y axes to zero.

I always get that second screen after pressing Origin OK. After I press Origin Ok and the spindle goes over to the corner and I do a run/press my XY always changes (between 300- 600+) Shouldn't it say xy-00 when it is in the corner?

When I try pressing the red stop button after an Origin OK I do get xy-00 but when I try to move the spindle it will only move halfway up the table in both directions.

Bummer.
I don't know if this is a hardware or firmware problem, but it's beyond my capabilities to help. I'm sure a call to Axiom will find the problem.

[wildwalker]

Yes I have come to the same conclusion, I will call them Monday. Thanks very much for your help.

[wildwalker]

I had a firmware issue, Chad sent me a fix and everything is working.

[grossmsj]

I'm glad they were able to get you up and running again!
Thanks for letting us know the cause of the problem.
