Was running my PRT Alpha yesterday for over 3 hours on our first ever job generated with V-Carve Pro.
At roughly 10 minutes from completing the job, all motion of the Bot just stopped and there was a "driver or motor fault" message on the screen.
No harm done, I still had all my coordinates so I reset the drivers and ran the file from the point where it quit using the "FG" command.
The machine did this a second time in the day cutting a repeat of the file but at a completely different part of the job.
I also ran a duplicate of the file on our other Shopbot with no issues.
Both machines have been running pretty reliably for a number of years...any suggestions to what I should be checking for?
