Help with Z Stall Problem

[mabco12]

Hello all,
After getting the drreaded z-stall error message I have read and reviewed the upgrade to the z bunbdle. So I got that and installed it with no problems at all every connection back the way it was new zmotor cable and board replace. I reformatted the memory card and uploaded a simple project then plugged the card into the machine and turned it on. What did I get, you got it selectedf project loaded board and got the error message for z stall press stop!! Anyone have any other suggestions?? I am starting ti get frustrated as many have! The reconditioned/recertified machine has less than 11 hours on it and needs to get up and running soon, I hope!! Thanks for any help you can give me to address this problem.

Does the Z home or go up and down at all when you power up?

If you can't get thought to LHR you can call me... My number is on my website below or send me a email with your number and we can troubleshoot it over the phone.

I have a Magic Jack phone and cost nothing to call.

Thanks again for taking time out of your busy schedule to call me and troubleshoot the system with me. It was a pleasure taking to you and diagnosing the problem together!! I will be sending the NKFD information to you soon. Your the man!!!:-D

Good Deal... I suggested the kids make stuff like the Maltese Cross for the Fire Dept. Getting the Fire Dept and Kids together will have a great result.

I will send Mike some Fire Tag samples to give to the local Fire Dept.

The Fire Dept Website even has a kids page.

Could create public interest to help get more machines for the Kids.

Good Luck,

AL

Mabco12,

I must say that I was touched when you wrote a while back that you purchased the CW machine with your own hard earned cash to add it to your curriculum. Truly a amazing teacher.

Al Who,

As always I am a fan. Good Job

This board has given me many ideas. Al has essentially given me a new venue to show support and help our community firefighters. I am always looking for ideas. I have invested in my program and it is sad that the SC is thinking about shutting in down next school year 2010-2011!! I am going to fight until the end though!! They are going to have a battle and hopefully everyone appreciates what I do not only for the children but the community!!
We will soon see???
Thanks again PCW!!:-D

Edison did not "Fail" in his life's work. He just had some "Setbacks".
Some of his inventions were accidents. Watch the video "Edison the Man".

"Sound and Silence" (about Alexander G. Bell) is another good example.
