so... for the record I figured out how to get things to home... so I'm almost home. at this point... my x axis homes, sets it to zero, and moves .5 off of that. Great.
my z axis homes but is set to +6.45 and my y axis is set to 32.45? I want these where they are (z=top, x=left, y=front) but I want them set to zero at these positions... if anyone can guide me here it'd be apprecaited.
OK, I'm sinking in this boat. I purchased a used CNC milling machine with a PMDX-126 BOB running MACH 4. when I got it set up, I couldn't get the steppers to move with keyboard. I got it to move thanks to Steve Stallings at PMDX support. I'm not sure while going through configurations, I reset something to lose that link...
Fast forward, I installed home switches on my X, Y and Z axes and plugged in soft limits on the X and Y axes.
My BOB shows limit switches operational, however, while manually moving it, it didn't stop moving while going beyond the limit...now I'm definitely paranoid about running it under power to home as I don't know if it'll stop.
I have attached some pics of settings as is right now.
Is there a place where I put in the "bounce back" distance?
Is there anything missing as far as checks, numbers, etc?
Thanks in advance...
