nervous breakdown

[gman]

my machine is having fits of some kind. It has become very sensitive to proving the tracking, and measuring. I'm doing a two sided job, which I've done successfully numerous times, but now when I flip the piece and it starts to measure it, it goes into a closed loop, can not stop, attempt to measure the width of the board. Back and forth until I just shut off the power as the stop button doesn't have any affect. Where do I start?

Could it be a board tracking issue.... Is the board flat and straight??? Another potential issue might mean clearing the memory card and re-loading your project...

What color is the board?

[DocWheeler]

It seems like race is at the heart of everything lately!

[lynnfrwd]

Lol. Evidently!!

[gman]

The board is flat and straight and I, in fact, tried both a light and dark wood with no luck. I initially had a piece on a sled to get the minimum length but also tried it with a solid board, both colors, same issue. I will try to poll the card from the carver and reinsert but shutting it down hadn't helped so am pessimistic.

[lynnfrwd]

Make sure OFF before taking card out.

[Bigtyme]

Card may need to be re formatted and project re loaded...

I spose I should know this, but how is the card reformatted? I don't remember doing this or where I read about it. Thanks for the patience.

When in Designer, from the file menu choose FLASH MANAGER. You will see an option to format the card.

You have a private message gman

[gman]

Thank you. Sometimes I think I should not have run away from the old folks home.

[gman]

Yup, reformatting did the trick! Thank you much.:D

[Bigtyme]

Glad that worked... And glad for the folks who helped with the re format.... I just got back from traveling and didn't see the message til now... Merry Christmas
