Hi
I built a CNC machine usisng an Arduino Uno and GRBL. I got to the point where all axis are moving fine if I open Universal Gcode sender and move the axis using the jog controler. So I opened a Gcode file to test the machine and it is not moving. I get a buzzing sound like the motors are trying to move, but they dont.
What is the feed speeds in the Gcode file? Look for the Fxxx.xx. Those are the commands that set feed rates. Maybe too fast for your setup?
What are the units set to in UGS? In the Gcode file?
Have you tried entering Gcode from the UGS command line?
Post the first few lines of the file.
Hi
every thing is in mm
here is the code, as you sugested I just changed the feed rate from 400 to 100, but had the same problem

(Using default header. To add your own header create file "header" in the output dir.)
M3
(Header end.)

I also copied the first 2 lines in the console and they worked
I just tried something else, I deleted the first line of the code (G00 Z5.0000) and without that line the code works just fine. So it looks like there is something wrong with my z axis
Hi, I figured out. It was in fact a problem with the feed speed, but not on the gecode, it was the max feed rate on grbl configuration, I changed $4 and $5 and now it works
