Machine stopped in middle of program. was created by fc60
Greetings,
I was machining two parts that I have run before at least 30 times.
First part machined as expected.
The second part got 3/4 through the program and the spindle and axis motors stopped.
Also, the AXIS screen was frozen up. No response to keyboard nor mouse.
I turned off the power and rebooted.
Next I started LinuxCNC 2.5.5. All went well.
Reloaded the program, dialed the part back in, and reset Z zero of the cutting tool.
Pressed Cycle Start and the program ran fine.
So, what happened?
Is there an error log/file I can look through to determine the cause of the shut down?
More clues.....
LinuxCNC 2.5.5

Cheers,
Dave

-power brownout
-lighting strike even several miles away
-processor had a hiccup
-failing power supply
-failing memory or memory controller
-failing capacitors on PC
etc
If any of the last 4, the issue will occur more often with time.
If the second, not much you can do.
If the first thing, and if this is a parallel port setup, and this happens again, see what equipment did you turn on in the house/shop/neighborhood, as big power draw equipment can cause this, easily, and they do for sure cause power brownouts.

@tommylight,
So, there would not be an error file/log generated I could look for?
