I do not know why I have to reset UGS when I run a file then try to load up my other file for running it throws these two types of errors and I can’t find anything on google that suggests what I am doing wrong. Any clues? ---

Found the problem. In the g-code it has a space between the - and the number. example: G91 G0 Y- 15.875 There should be no spaces there. this is the correct code: G91 G0 Y-15.875 I calculated this using Charley’s spreadsheet. I then copied and pasted it into a text file. For some reason it has a space but if you look for it and remove it then it works without this error. ---

Is this one of those cases “You get what you paid for”? It seems there is a lot of problems lately with UGS’ builds but it is free. Not sure if free is worth the headache. ---

I still need more work for this machine to work right. I have those TB660 modules hooked up to the Arduino like you have in your diagrams. I just need to get it rewired with some shielded wires and make a proto board so everything is tight and solid connections. I need a better controller. I want to move away from the arduino and get something that is common and not too difficult to use. ---
