Big problem here

[Shacky]

It's a brand new cut motor. Put it in as a part of troubleshooting my original problem.

We had the same problem with a machine, it would run fine for several days and then would give me problems. Cut a little more off of the lid and good to go, no stopping anymore. As far as the check cut motor, have you changed or checked your cut motor brushes, could be an early warning.

That CCM or check cut motor is normal. You will find that if you did the same project twice in a row without turning the machine off that the second time you would not get a CCM as the machine knows from the first time to go into what I call default mode.

It's all about the computer checking the motor speed and not being happy.

LHR #1 has commented on this years ago.

It's just something I learned to live with.

GLAD you got your machine running.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but are you using the latest firmware with the Check Cut Motor fix?

I did flash the card as part of the troubleshooting. What is the Check Cut Motor fix?

Awhile back someone posted a patched firmware (3.103.12507) that seemed to fix the "Check Cut Motor" problem. At least it did for me. The current version is 3.103 and when I flashed it to the card the problem resurfaced. I found the patched version on my computer (I think) but I don't want to post it until its verified.

Go to the bottom of the page: http://www.carvewright.com/update3/

I think this still takes you to the older firmware 3.103.12507

I looked on that page but couldn't find any previous versions. 3.103.12507 was a special "patch". I'm not even sure of the version number until I test it.

I think that is the version you are talking about.(CUTMOTOR FIRMWARE UPDATE) The firmware that comes with 3.103 is 3.103.00007. (Smaller number but newer version??)

[Shacky]

Interesting. Hopefully this addresses the issue. I'll be doing this today. http://www.carvewright.com/firmware-update/

I upgraded to 1.188 and applied the cut motor firmware update. I did a small job and it did not give me a check cut motor message at the beginning. Maybe that fixed it!
