Art! Wow! Cool! Thanks for your reply!
I'm not sure if I totally understood your question so, sorry in advance if I didn't check the correct thing.
If you are referring to the LEDS located next to the Zer X, Zero Y & Zero Z buttons, then my answer is... the machine exhibits this behaivior regardless of whether or not those LEDS are Green or Red.
Sorry if I am over explaining or repeating myself but here's what I do. I Ref all to Home, then I go to one of my Work Offsets (in the middle of my table and start a cut. Since I am new to G-Code I usually discover problems in the code and have to stop, edit my code, click go to Zero (my tool offset) and start the cut over to see if I fixed what I screwed up this first time around.
Clicking Go to Zero will yield 1 of 4 results...
1. SAFE Z NOT CHECKED on CONFIG/LOGIC- X & Y simultaneously move to Zero, Z axis moves to Zero last (after doing a little thrash dance on the part). I understand this is "normal" program behavior but, I wish you could change it around so Z moved first.
2. SAFE Z CHECKED on CONFIG/LOGIC - Message shows in status box saying "Safe Z turned off, ignoring Safe Z move". Machine goes to Zero in same manner as Example #1
3. SAFE Z CHECKED on CONFIG/LOGIC - Message shows in status box saying "Safe Z turned off, ignoring Safe Z move". Interestingly, the Z axis DOES move first in this case, however, it blasts right past the Safe Z setting (on the settings screen) goes past the home switch, hits my stop, misses a few steps and decides to return (down) to zero (which by now is no longer really zero sice I missed a bunch of steps when I ran into the stop)
4. SAFE Z CHECKED on CONFIG/LOGIC- it works perfectly. Clicking go to Zero causes Z axis to raise to safe Z setpoint (I have it set @ Z +.5000" ) then X & Y go to Zero and finally Z goes down to Zero- AWESOME! (when it happens).
Don't ya just love unidentifiable intermittent problems?
Thanks for any help or advice.
