I searched the topics and couldn’t find anything, forgive me I there is one and I couldn’t find it. I am using Millmage .0.8.00-RC-7 with the Genmitsu Cubiko. When I am running a job, I am getting non-stop chiming every three to four seconds. I am assuming it is every time it finishes a path or line of code. (I dunno. I don’t know what I’m doing.) But I have looked for anyway to turn this off and can’t find anything. It is a short be-bop tone every 3-4 seconds. When you are running a job that last for 15 minutes, that’s a lot of be-bops. It is annoying and gets recorded while recording videos for streaming. How do I make it stop? Please make it stop!
Hey Steve,
Thats… interesting. Do you have a video of it that we could see?
I’d almost bet that it’s a firmware controlled beep if that’s the case. We’re not the only software that streams gcode direct to the device. I’d be curious if the Console (with Show All enabled) has any interesting reports.
This is the only way I could figure out how to share the video.
I noticed two things: [1] those ding-dongs are not evenly spaced, and [2] there is no dong-dang-ding you normally hear with a Windows USB connect. The ding-dong is also not the same as my Windows version.
This is going to make it challenging to diagnose. My first guess is that it might be a virus checker software doing it.
Same PC uses Lightburn to control the lasers. It doesn’t happen with Lightburn. IF it was anti-virus related, I would think it would happen with Lightburn. But it only happens with MillMage.
Ok, try controlling the mill with Lightburn. Something simple, cut air, a few boxes and circles. Pretend the CNC has a laser on it.
I know I am shooting in the dark here, but we do not have much to go on with the information you have provided.
oh that was doing my head in just watching the video,
is ur cnc connected with cable or wifi, if cable try wifi worth a shot
I may be forcing it, but the timing of the beeps looks to occur near/seem to coincide with a single axis G1 move being displayed in the console.
Interesting. To test this, slow the feed rate down a lot and see if the tones get farther apart.
This is bizarre, especially given that MillMage itself does not emit sounds.
