General Mach Discussion / Home Offset Proble
« on: May 22, 2013, 01:48:03 PM »
I have spent days searching the forum for information on a problem I am experiencing. I have not been able to find an answer.
I use a plate and clip on the end mill for the Z axis home. After setting up the homing an home offset it works fine for a while. If Mach3 terminates abnormally (power failure etc.), the ref all home function et the Z axis to a different value from that on the homing/limits screen. It is acting like there is a value stored somewhere else that is added to the value on the homing/limits screen.
Replacing the XML config file and redoing the Z axis home does not help. So far the only way to get it working correctly again is to uninstall Mach3. Delete the C:\Mach3 folder, install Mach3 and redo the Z axis home setup.
This is getting to be very frustrating to me.
