Re: EXACT point of zero XY
Cool, thanks Will. I need to change my search to "coordinate". I did not think of that.

EXACT point of zero XY
I have been having a ton of fun with my SO3. Now I am getting into more advanced stuff like 2 sided jobs. I am getting the hang of MeshCAM pretty well. Up until now I really did not worry too much about setting the zero XY point. But now with two sided projects I need to get precise. Here is my ques...

Re: carbide motion board details?
I see a header for ISP. Also one labelled "Serial Programmer". I am looking for a way to bypass the USB port and connect in serial for use with a bluetooth board. Just need access to tx, rx, rst and Vcc. Any ideas?

Re: Shielding wires
This is a long-standing problem with USB-connected machines. We've seen it ever since Shapeoko 1. Other machines (for example, 3D printers) can also be affected. The USB conenction is very sensitive to interference; once it drops, it does not restore itself. There are several things that have been ...

Re: Shielding wires
Well, the problem is not shielding related. I have experienced the machine resetting even with the spindle powered off. At random times it happens even just at rest (no job running). I thought it was disconnecting the USB connection to the PC, but I noticed the Z motor jumps when the failure happens...

Re: Shielding wires
Thanks for all of the ideas! @rtlflatt for now I have a "dumb" router; just plugged directly into AC outlet. I am going to take a shotgun approach since I believe that the noise is being induced at multiple points. Per the suggestions from replies: - Rotate the router to better isolate the router AC...
