Sometimes vacuum pump doesn't start

Post by LesGrant »

Hi All,

I am testing my Liteplacer by clicking on 'Place Selected' in the Run Job screen to place simgle parts.
Sometimes, it does everything as expected except start the vacuum pump.

Any suggestions please?

Regards,
Les Grant.

This a known bug with the latest of the software that is being investigated. I imagine a new version of the software will be available soon!

As a workaround, if you toggle the pump on switch so that the pump is turned on, the software will correctly turn off and on the vaccum pump for the rest of that session.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the feedback/workaround.
I don't have enough evidence but I suspect the software is getting out of sync with the TinyG after a TinyG reset.
I will check the pump setting before I start.
Thanks.

Les Grant.
