This morning, 2 minutes after finishing a simple job with my Mach3/G540 system, the machine came back to life and started to rerun the code, apparently on its own. It seemed to be triggered by my switching off the dust vacuum shopvac (at the shopvac), but it started the router, waited for the delay, then moved the tool over to the starting point. It was about to go down when I killed it from the keyboard.
The shopvac was plugged into a separate circuit in the house, and the G540 controls the router power. I don't understand how this is even possible, since (I think) only keyboard controls can start a cycle. Am I wrong?
I would be very appreciative of any insight that you may have. It scared me silly, to the point that I will start closing the gcode files as soon as the cuts are finished.
Cheers!
