pmdx smartbob error 7 motion overrun
« on: April 08, 2020, 12:49:59 PM »
pmdx 411 Mach 4 v 4300 when i jog with my vista cnc p4-s pendent in slower jog rate .0100 , i get the above error, after the first time then i get it in any rate. I have contacted Mach support and vistacnc.com  , they say it is not in their software , i have reinstalled your latest mach 4 file and firmware from your site .

So if you start off trying to jog at a rate faster than 0.0100, it works?  And only fails when you try 0.0100 (and thereafter at all rates)?  It sounds like the "other" rates you are trying are all faster (meaning higher values like 0.100 and 1.000), is that correct?

There were some issues early on when VistaCNC first started supporting Mach4 but I thought those had been resolved.  If you search these forums for "VistaCNC" you will find a couple of threads about that from 2016 and 2018.

This may be a "contact PMDX support directly" kind of issue.  They will probably ask you to do something like was done in the 2nd link above so they can analyze what is going on.

Yes , that is correct  I sent a log file to both pmdx and mach4 support , they both said it made no sense - not much help !

    But thanks for your help , i sent a reply to the one link that you showed about the inputs , waiting to hear back .

    Thanks
