Masso controller does not act on G-codes

[meubelmaakplaats]

I think I have set up my CNC machine correctly. Homing works, the MPG is fully functional. I have the latest firmware version loaded. But the problem is when starting any program it hangs at the first line en cannot be aborted. I have tried to enter some G-code which should result in a move of the spindle position but nothing moves and the controller hangs until I enter M00. Any tips what I could do wrong? (I don't think its the input file as it is a very simple design and generated by the Vectric Masso postprocessor)

If you own a G3 MASSO you need to enter data (dummy) into ALL unused axis. There was a bug in early releases of the G3 model and showed itself as failure to run gcode.

@masso-support

You need to place a warning on the first page of the documentation that early releases of the G3 required dummy data in unused axis. You may have fixed the problem in later releases but there people out there that are finally installing early release models and running into this problem.

Regards,

Arie.

Thanks Arie, this solved my problem! I am surprised this is not prominently showed on the website of Masso. I can imagine I am not the only one with this problem.
