Check the Emergency Stop Buttons, one on the remote pendant and the one on the Control Panel. They require a slight rotation to come out and reset.

I have worked past the start up basic problems with help from parts and smarts and Dan the tree man , I have replaced pic board on dynapath 20 . I am having trouble putting in a basic program to make machine operate , can get to jog and align set points on axis , but can not get machine to allow spindle to operate . I understand I need to load a basic program but do not know how at this point . any help on how to get spindle to operate ? cnc beginner

Sorry I cannot help with Dynapath questions. My system is the Acramatic A2100 You should be able to import a simple G code program or enter one from the keyboard and have it run the machine without any problem.

M3 - spindle normal rotation
S - speed RPM
F- feed

are you seeing any fault error messages? First one will likely be axis have to be referenced.

I 'm not sure where you stand at this point in time with this machine , but I have one and have had good luck with it . Having some issues with the aux board , lites up sometimes. Let me know where you stand on your issues and questions , I will try to help . Does this have a dynapath controller?
