ugs Problem

[ghalandar66]

Hello
I am a carpenter who built my own small cnc machine
I have no knowledge of programming
For my device, I used Arduino CH340G and cnc shield v3, the drivers are tb6600 type.
The version of ugs software that I use is 2.020 and I have 10.0.2 version installed. Windows is also 10 pro.
I encounter this message when connecting ugs software.

*** Connecting to jserialcomm://COM3:115200
b( 1*!9!O

3Ìb(1*!9 O

63Ìb( Ž1*!9!O

63Ìb(1"!9 "O
**** Connection closed ****

And that the microswitches do not work in the z axis either
I did not specify for the home device
Because I don't know the ugs settings
I'm sure it's not a hardware problem because I checked all the paths several times
It is interesting that I tested the same parts with a programmer's computer and the device worked without any problems
please guide me.

This is the grbl version that I uploaded to Arduino

grbl.zip

The GRBL version that you are running is 0.9j and should work with the "CNC shield v3". UGS 2.0.20 should also work fine with that GRBL version.

However, in your config.h you have set #define BAUD_RATE 230400 and are trying to connect using 115200. That is probably the reason you are getting the garbled messages after connecting:

*** Connecting to jserialcomm://COM3:115200
b( 1*!9!O
3Ìb(1*!9 O
63Ìb( Ž1*!9!O

**** Connection closed ****

Is there any specific reason you changed the baud rate? I think that it is best to leave it to the default 115200 to start with in the config.

Is there a text in the comments section that is related to the no & nc bases of the micro switches?

Take a screenshot of UGS right after your machine gives an alarm.

I tried to show the problem with a video
All axes have this problem

ok

I thought that the video that showed a nicely made machine making a proper homing cycle was yours...

In the other video you showed when you were jogging into the end stops. Which you basically never should do, that will result in an alarm.

I now understand that you have never performed a homing procedure.

This is why I need you to describe what you are doing, what you expected and what is actually happening.

Activate homing cycle $22=1 and press the homing button (the one with the house button)

I am busy providing for my family, maybe when I get some time over.

But the axes are stopped after completing some work steps

This is not enough for describing your problem, I want the gcode file you are sending and the console output in UGS when it stops working.

Hello
I really need your help
Just one more time

[breiler]

Ask away.

[ghalandar66]

Does ugs support these boards as well?

[breiler]

No, that is a controller for Mach3
