I’ve had a kit cnc for almost 2 years now. I have the cnc xpro v5 controller box and I use cncjs and carbide create pro for my work.
The other day, someone killed the power while I was in the middle of a job. After resetting and centring etc, the cnc worked for roughly another 10 minutes then just stopped. Noone was near it.
I have been over all the wiring, changed the usb cable, tested to see if there’s 24v going to the controller which there is, checked the limit switches.
The wifi comes up on my phone and various lights come on on the controller so I assume the power is ok. It will not jog. I cant get the motors to move.
This is not a controller I am personally familiar with, and I don’t recall it being mentioned before on these forums, which primarily deal with hardware sold through the V1 Engineering shop. Someone may be along who is able to help, but I am not that person.
I do know, from running cncjs on a raspberry pi image, that pulling the power from a running linux-based system can result in file system corruption, but if that were the case I wouldn’t have expected the system to run again then quit after 10 minutes.
Killing power while a machine is in operation is always going to risk electrical stress on the components.
As noted above, this isn’t a controller we regularly use here on our machines, and you haven’t mentioned what type of machine you have. Those details would help us try to help you.
I’d start with all of the usual fundamentals. When you power on your controller, does it start up with the motor drivers enabled? If so, can you hear/feel that each motor is in fact receiving stepper drive power (E.g., they lock or buzz a bit and get warm?).
Do you use a web UI or a sender do drive your machine?
