OK, you can set up softlimits either way but if your just jogging to a point and setting the MACHINE 0, softlimits sucess will depend entirely on the operator. Home (refrence) your machine and jog the z down to where you want it to stop. click on the machine coords. button and write down the value in the z dro. Go to config., homing/limits and put that number in for your z min. Set your slow zone big (several inches) at first to test with. Go to the run screen and enable softlimits by clicking the softlimits button. Should turn green around it then. Test it slow by jogging the z down. When it gets in the slow zone it will start slowing down and eventually stop at the machine coords you entered. As always, test it slow and with caution and hand on estop........... i dont want you hollering at me if you run z off the rails. Eventually you can tune it to run as you want with a smaller slow zone etc. but for now just get it working and tested
