Spindle slows down every 5 minutes

[jappiemike]

Hello, I've noticed that the spindle does a reset approx. every 5 minutes. I've tried to debug this but have not had any luck. It appears to be in the loop that starts at line 386. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Mike

I haven't had it do that. Wonder if you have another Arduino that you could try it (the sketch) with?
Also, can you tell me which Arduino you are using (Leonardo/UNO)?

Hello and thanks for the reply, I was using an Uno and I did try a different board and reloaded the sketch from your GitHub and the problem seems to have disappeared. Thanks again for a great program, it’s much better than anything I’ve written or found on the internet. Cheers Mike

I had the same issue with an UNO. I purchased a Leo and the first time I uploaded the sketch it was doing the same thing. So I re-downloaded the sketch again and it went away. The only thing I updated was the max RPM, from 10000 to 12000, which I did both in the old file and the new sketch file.

I was going to go line by line from the first version to the redownloaded one to see if I accidentally did something else, but I have not had time lol.
I was also going to test it again on the UNO, but again no time heh.

What is UsrInput ==16, this is the only thing that throws an Exit code. I couldn't find a button press that would even set the variable to 16, so maybe its that?

Interesting, not sure why changing the max RPM would have that effect. I have seen it get lost momentarily, but never had a periodic occurrence. as for “What is UsrInput ==16” In this Sketch “UsrInput” and “buttons” are the same variable. So the following line of code would set the “UsrInput”value to 16. buttonPressed==KEYPAD_SELECT) buttons += 16; From: JMTH99 Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2018 7:12 PM To: jmharvey1/Arduino-CNC-Speed-Control Cc: jmharvey1 ; Comment Subject: Re: [jmharvey1/Arduino-CNC-Speed-Control] Spindle slows down every 5 minutes (#5) I had the same issue with an UNO.
