Very good to hear. USB is not very reliable so it is likely that you have now solved the problem.
Update!
The machine ran for 7hours today with no fake stops. Feels amazing :D
Now I have to slowly reintroduce all connections with switches and vfd connections.
I'm hoping it will continue working ;)

Alright!
Seems like I have sorted the usb trouble I was having.
Turns out it's the usb connector on the uc300board thats slightly misbehaving.
If I keep the usb cable slightly stretched to the right to put small pressure on the usb socket everything runs fine.
I know this is a hillbillyfix but right now it's working. Am planning Ethernet in the future :D
On that note. Have bought a rs485 ethernetadapter following the tip from A Camera.
Which plugin should I use for uccnc?
Found both the HY plugin (have HY vfd) and modbusplugin?
Other than that it's overdue on some buildpics in the thread. Have none right now but have made some progress so I guess I should document them :D

Hey everyone!
Been away from mycncuk for about 6 months.. guess that all free time has gone to making chips and breaking bits :D
I havent done much to improve my machine exept upgrading from usb uc300 to ethernet.
I wish that I had taken everyones advice and gone that way from the beginning haha.. no connection issues since I swapped :)
I did try a z auto zero plate thingy but something is wrong with the offset. Measured my chinese touchplate and entered the height in the uccnc macro but when executing it gets the z zero a few millimeters to high so I have to find out why :)
Also made a primitive dustboot (yeeeah) its awsome!
Ordered the spindle speed controller thats discussed but havent installed it yet hehe
Other than that Im exited to be back here and want to see if there are new stuff being used by the members.. always fun to upgrade! :D
Hello Bert!
Good work with your machine.. great progress!
Im not sorry about the uc300 problems. Im sorry that I did not listen to all the gathered experience here and took a chance with a secondhand uc300usb :D
Will try to take a pic later today. Have promised the wife to be with the family today but Im trying to get some time to atleast grease the machine ;)
Welcome back to the forum guys it's good to see you again, I've been quite absent myself for far tooo long !
