So I'm very new to all of this and I am having some issues with UGS and errors when starting jobs. I keep getting error code 24 and 33. I have only had this issue when trying to carve text. I did some test squares and circles and had no issues. I'm using Vcarve and the grbl post processor. I've done some research and it seems like it has something to do with UGS not processing arcs correctly? Honestly I have no idea and just need some help.

Error 24: More than one g-code command that requires axis words found in block.
Error 33: Motion command target is invalid.
Sounds like you may have a command GRBL doesn't like in your G code. Make sure you are using a compatible GRBL post processor when generating your gcode.
Also you can turn on the verbose mode and see where in the gcode gets hung up.

I am also getting the 24 and 33 errors while trying to do a simple facing operation. Starts and runs fine for the first 39 lines of code then seems to jump back to line 30 of the code and throws the errors. I'm brand new to this world and so far not enjoying any of it. I haven't been able to cut a single thing without some kind of set back. Probably mostly self induced but still frustrating as hell.

After changing from "Smooth to Straight" in the toolpath in F360 which eliminated the arc command it changed to error code 25 and 2. After it errored I hit play again and it advanced one step and stopped again. I hit play again and it promptly began to eat my aluminum plate. There seems to be nothing outstanding in the code where it throws the error. This is in my shed where there are no other electrical devices other than the laptop and the associated Carve King devices so I don't think it's getting an outside electrical signal to the Arduino. I even moved the laptop and CK charging transformers under the wooden bench to put some distance between them and the Arduino, didn't help.

I am getting the error 24 also, Both time it happened it was the second time i ran the program. It ran the first time through without an issue then i loaded new material and hit play again after returning to zero. Maybe 1 min. into the cut it through the error then stopped, threw the code and then stopped. I hit return to zero and it acts like it forgot where zero was.
I used the UGS version 1.0.9 prior to getting a touchplate and support said that i needed to use the new version of UGS on their website.
SO, after the error code, I open the exact same program in the older version of UGS and it runs fine over and over and over again.
I have emailed support and told them i had a Windows update after installing the program, they said that could be the issue, but nothing further.
Not sure where to turn on this issue, really want to use the touchplate but cant have the program stopping like this.

Losing step position can throw of the machine being able to return to zero. Cutting too deep or too fast can cause the motors to lose their position. Other than that bLouChip recommends tying the power supply negative sides to ground on the power supply. Maybe the control signal is not grounded, causing the errors?
5) More grounding. I found that Arduino is powered by the connected computer through the +5VDC of USB communication cable. At the control box, neither the USB jack nor Arduino is chassis grounded to the control box. So with a laptop computer, the +5VDC USB is floating relative to ground. Yet another EMI/RFI receiving antenna. Grounding the negative voltage buss of Arduino solves both problems; I grounded to the control box, adding a wire to ground the 48VDC power supply and 5VDC to a common box ground screw inside the box.
6) RF Chokes. I added RF chokes to several signal wires, this was perhaps the single most important EMI/RFI mitigation step of all: 1 each end of the 6 ft USB cable connecting my computer to CNC control box; 1 on the USB pigtail inside control box to Arduino board; 1 on the DB25 cable nearest the control box; 1 on the signal and power wire bundle at the THC top buss; 1 on plasma trigger and THC voltage sense wires nearest THC and trigger relay board.
