I changed the Estop to port 0, pin 0. It seems to be working.
So just to check my understanding, the machine should move until it touches the home switch and stop right there. It should not physically move off of the switch. Is that correct?
Since my machine uses a limit switch as a home switch also, my home offset setting should be zero for all axes, since it will be at the extreme end of the axis when it homes. Is that correct?
What are the G28 home location cooridnates? My understanding is that G28 is a command that tells the machine to go home, but go to some other cooridinate values first. For example, it you needed to go around a clamp or something, you could use the G28 command to move around the clamp, then go home. Should all of mine be set to zero?
If I understand the soft max and soft min correctly, this is so that the table size will appear to be correct in the tool path window on the program run screen. So to get these numbers accurately, I should home the machine to zero, and then travel to the opposite end of the X and Y axes, and when it triggers the other limit switch, I should type in the number from the DRO into the soft max. Is that correct?
