It finally happened, controller system committed suicide, keyboard failed, weird movement when pressing keyes etc.
I build a new system, actually 4, 2 on win8.1 and 2 on win10. Each gave me exactly the same problem. The whole program crashes as soon as you load any toolpath. eventually usend the demo path code from the install, same problem, so it is not my toolpath code.
Using the latest avidcnc code and doing a clean install everytime. Tried both win10 (22h2) and Tiny10, all with the same problem.
I can load the GUI code and it is stable. If select the second tab (Offsets) and then load the demo toolpath (roadrunner) the code loads fine. AS soon as you switch to the run program tab, the system starts crashing. Everything closes down, even the trace window. Nothing is remember in history or the trace/debug wizard. This is the alternative to loading the code directly in the run tab, where everything crashes immediatly
I did read somewhere that it maybe a graphic card issue, checked and upgraded, still the same problem. card has 3 or more gb ram. 4 systems.
It sounds like you can load g code, you just can’t display the path. You could test this by disabling the display of the toolpath (I did this on my mach 3 machine). If disabling the toolpath works, and the toolpath is simple, it is pointing to graphics issues. You might try changing the display resolution to see if that changes anything.
Make sure that you have not run out of disk space. Check permissions on where ever mach 4 writes temporary files.
I don’t have Mach up right now, but there are some settings in an advanced tab somewhere that have something to do with how that G code window renders… If memory serves it’s in the setup window with all the tabs and it’s near the end of the tab list
