    Default Z Axis issue only when running grbl file

    Hi guys,

    I have been working on a CNC shield v3 build and have everything running with basic machine control (all axises work manually).
    When I run a "Circle-diamond-square" file all I get is a moan from the stepper on a -Z command.
    If I test the command manually it works. But not as the part of the program.

    I have tried a number of things, but I'm interested in your thoughts. Where should I be looking? Wha info do you need?

    Jason

    Probably moving the Z to fast in the gcode program. Try lowering the Z max speed and acceleration settings.
    $112 is Z max speed
    $122 is Z acceleration
