Have been having a few issues with my MicroRouter V3 running on VRMilling V5. Have just downloaded and installed the latest version of VRMillingV5 and Getting the following error pop up but no idea what it is. Access Violation at address 0040A72B in module 'VRMilling5.exe'. Write of address 00000190 Before installing the newest version I was having issues with the Z-axis rising randomly during machining.

Jul 01, 2015  See how the Boxford CADCAM Design Tools software can be used to teach industrial level CNC G&M Code programming using both the conversational. Apr 12, 2011 - Thread: Problem with Boxford A3HSRi2 CNC. 2 places to configure it. Inside the software and also the hardware settings for the serial port.

The Z-Axis would rise without any noticable reason but the co-ordinates on screen didn't seem to be changing, so Assume the G-code isn't at fault. Any Suggestions? Ive just been trying to get the 2 micromill 2000s back up and running at work and facing the same issue.

All worked fine on V2 when I had 'my' network in school, the school upgraded the network to Win7 and I had to become part of it. As a result I lost the access to do anything other than log in and use programs (had to pass it over to the schools ICT guys). We did have VR5 running after a bit of a battle but the PCs have been re imaged and I can't be going through all that again. Fortune smiled on me last Thursday when I came across 2 old laptops (destined for the bin) they both have serial ports.

I installed VR 2 and got the micromills running fine. The problem is I want to use TechsoftV2 for the drawing as it has single line fonts (V cuter engraving into wood). To just get things up and running again and refresh my brain I installed VR 2 and Techsoft V1 with Denford extensions. Techsoft V2 installed, work produced in there, copy/paste to V1 and G code file produced. Machined a test piece no problem. So happy that was was all up and running I today installed VR5, used the same drawing file from the previous test in Techsoft V2 exported as DXF and then opened them in VR5 When I tried to run a program in the VR machine it kept saying I was trying to exceed movement limits (same file as used in VR2) SO then when I try to connect to the really machine from VR5 I keep getting the Access violation error.

I couldn't try it on the other Micromill as this has been moved in the workshop and needs power to it. Is there an Ideas what may be the cause? OK so I got digging today as I have to have these up and running for next Friday.

Micromill 2000, Feb 2002 Fitted with V2.1 eprom (still have the DENMINT V2.0/S/B19-JD5 eprom that was originally in it.) Red 7 segment Display on board. Micromill 2000CE, October 2002 says Software Version V2.13 on the side, Fitted with Denford BETA eprom inside.

Red 7 segment display on board. These were both supplied in the time I have been at the school, any work on them has been done by Denford. They were originally running VR2 fine, then VR5 when the school changed to win7 in 2012. Now I have 2 Laptops with RS232 ports, both installed with VR2 and can run the machines no problem. Looking at the Machine properties in VR2 it is selected as Micromill 2000, in the communications section it shows Baud rate 19200 COM port 1 Stop bits 1 Mint File Micromill 2000.mnt polling delay 20 hardware handshake not selected Control type 20 Running VR5 I have tried from the legacy options Micromill 2000 DENSTEP Micromill DENSTEP So far For 'restore machine offets' I am selecting ALLOFFSETS.MOF But have no offsets saved.

Check the PC COM Port is working (I.e. Plug in a serial mouse) 2.

Check that the RS232 cable is Denford supplied or made to Denford spec 3. Make sure the correct machine is selected (See blue banner at top of VR Milling screen) 4. What is the status of the 7 Segment display on the Denstep board? And 8 or a 2 are OK 5. In VR Milling (Top menu bar) Setup Setup Machine Parameters Password denny Communications Make sure the com port is the correct No Control type 7 (RED 7 segment display) Control type 9 (GREEN 7 segment display) 6. The Baldor driver is not installed (check under USB devices in Device Manager) Also see this topic for a bit more help. Viewtopic.php?t=451 See also viewtopic.php?f=4&t=611&p Now in my machine properties it says Control type 0 Just changed it to control type 20 (as per the V2 file) and it now shows the loss of RS232 connection rather than the Access Violation.
