I can open Mach3 with the USB controller attached to the machine and run through an entire G-code file with no problem -- the gantry and spindle moves, etc. Everything is calibrated.
The problem comes when I use the VFD to start the spindle. The moment I turn the knob and the spindle starts then the USB controller shuts down.
Also, if I leave the spindle running and try to reboot the laptop with the USB controller attached then the controller "blue LED" does not turn on when I start Mach3 and the device is not recognized and I cannot control the CNC at all.
Hopefully this is a simple issue to correct?
I have the machine running on 220V from a separate circuit to my loadcenter. The laptop is independent of this.
