SO2 Stopping and Going with Easel

X-Carve

So, very interesting phenomenon started happening tonight for the first time ever. I’m cutting my first cut on linoleum and my SO2 is pausing in the middle of a cut.

What’s crazy, is that when I shut the spindle off and back on again (stock SO2 crappy dremel knockoff) it starts right back up. The spindle is not connected in anyway to the Arduino/G-shield. They happen to be plugged into the same outlet, but not even directly (there’s a surge protector between them).

My random guess is something to do with the linoleum causing static. Otherwise I’m lost.

Thoughts?

Thermal overload protection ?

Good thought, Andy, but I don’t think that’s what it is. Though I’ve never experienced that so I couldn’t really tell you.

I do know, though, that it stopped when I moved onto cutting wood later last night. It’s got to be related to the linoleum. I’m just so glad the cut resumed in the exact same place after I flipped the spindle power off and back on. Fortunately its plugged into a surge protector with a rocker switch.
