Howdy Folks

[Geomoo1]

Just joined the Forum today and wanted to say hello to everyone. I have had my model C for about three weeks now and haven't been able to complete a single project. I initially had a faulty memory card. That's been replaced and now I keep getting a Y-Axis Stall ERR05 - 0303. Haven't been able to clear it up yet, but I'll keep trying.

Howdy back at ya and welcome to the forum!

At what stage in the process are you getting the Y stall error. The more information you gives the better we can help you through it...

I can relate. I have 4 hours on my machine and working out the kinks and operator error. I will say when that first project comes out, it will all be worth it. The guys and gals on this forum are a wealth of knowledge. Keep reading the posts and get to know these people. They will help you.

With the machine off, move the carriage back and forth by hand. Does it feel smooth? Do you hear any noises from the motor drive on the left?

It is a shame that we are going into a long weekend and help from the Carvewright people will have to wait until Monday.

In the phone company where (I am now retired) we used to roll components to shoot trouble. I use that method now, recently proving the cut motor (bad internal connection - now fixed) was the problem e with my older B machine. You have effectively don that. Works on the lap-top but not the desktop - trouble is not the card, the reader, or the software. How old is the desktop. I don't know if the reader requires a 2.0 or higher USB, and may not work with the older 1.0. But you have Win 7, so Your computer must not be that old. Try something else in that USB slot, but that has to be the problem.

Yeah. I retired from Western Electric (Lucent) and that is SOP for trouble shooting along with divide and conquer. The desktop is about a year old and usb is 2.0. For the most part the ports seem to work with anything else I plug in them. I have even tried switching to the back ports. Windows has been acting weird lately on the desktop, so maybe it's an OS problem. I'll probably never know.

Geomoo1,
If you have USB ports both front and rear of the machine try plugging into the opposite one (i.e. if you are plugging into the front... try the rear). I have heard of some folks with this problem that solved it that way.
