We have a few goodies that we need to finish and then I think it is time to work on the drilling! I would like to start showing the drill dia on the screen so we will see how that goes!

Thanks

Welcome!

To revers your axis you need to check reverse for that axis under Config/Homing and Limits... that should get you up and running

it should set the Machine coordinates to zero when you home (Unless you changed the settings under the homing and limits)

Check you settings under Config/Homing and Limits

I think you can put this in the setip that you have now and I think it will fix the problem...

What do you have for a breakout board in the box?

I think you may need to have a Breakout board to get your voltage up  (Just an idea at this point)

I would use the Pixie at this time The  Galil is a good device but I think I need to buy one to have here for testing

The tool changer could be done with a PLC and I would talk to Scott about what it would cost to help you with this (It is not simple )

Other then that it sounds like no problem
