    Default Pathpilot 2 rapid turn halting in the middle of program?

    Hello all, I recently upgraded to pathpilot 2 and no real issues with the mill side of things it has been working fine straight out of the box. Today however I mounted my RapidTurn, did a quick conversational parting routine, touched off my tools etc and hit cycle start. The program runs to G30 runs back over to the part in z right to where it should start the parting, the spindle is running but it halts right there it never traverses in the x direction, just halts while the spindle sits there and turns. I bounced the controller, same behavior, ran a conversational facing routine, same deal just sits there. I am at a complete loss, anyone else see this sort of behaviour?

    Did you ever find out how to fix this? I am having the same problem. Conversational and post from fusion do the same thing. I tried upgrading to v2.6.0 from 2.2.1 and that didn't fix it either.

    Can you post your code? Any errors popping up on the machine that might point in the direction of an issue?

    Check out your spindle sensor.

    The code would help. What is your G30 position?

    Can you try hitting Cycle Start when it is in that position (with the correct tool in the toolpost)? It might just be pausing for the tool change confirmation.

    I also remembered there is a "G30 in Z direction only" setting on the settings tab. If that is checked, that would explain the Z only move with the G30. The pause may be due to the tool change I mentioned earlier.
