Hello,
I am using the X- switch as the home switch (I have wired the X- switch to the Home input on the Galil).
I have configured the limit and home switches as active low in the plugin. Port mappings according to the plugin PDF documentation.
When I jog normally, Mach3 stops the motor whenever I hit a limit switch and the limit switch LED lights up in Mach3.
When I try to home X (REF X) however, the home switch and the X- switch both light up and the motor stops. Then nothing, no zeroing, no offsets, nothing. I am also unable to jog unless I hit the Stop button, so I guess the Galil plugin is stuck in the homing routine?
The Galil (using stepper motors) is configured with LDA = 0 and OEA = 0.
I tried it with LDA = 3 (both limit switches disabled). In this case, when homing the motor just stops forever until it hits a hard stop at which point I pulled the plug on it.
In Mach3-> Ports and Pins, X-, X+ and X Home are not active low or emulated.
Any ideas?
