Losing Contact

I've had an odd issue several times over the last few weeks when I'm sending a file to my machine to cut (from the SB Link). The file begins, the spindle travels to about the middle of the table, then stops abruptly, with no error message. All commands dissappear from the command console screen. Several of the inputs do stay on, as my vacuum table and dust collector are tied into relays, and those continue to run.

Typically after this happens I 'Write to Shopbot' again, and the file runs fine. Anyone know what might be going on? Thanks.

Nat,

If SB3 is open first it seems to work better. If you make the link open SB3 it sometimes did that for me.

Unfortunately, for some reason, I've found the opposite to be true. A majority of the time, when I open the control software first, I get a 'stack overflow error'. I try to always close SB3 before sending the file to the machine...

This hadn't happened until recently, then happened twice within a few weeks.
