Brett,
at the end this machine will be used in prof. conditions for drilling,tapping and labeling
for mounting plates for elecrical cabinets.
the normal work will be, load part, load programm hit start.
therefore a homing will be done at the beginning of every program to make sure
to start with the same conditions.
the machine will be operated of non CNC spezialists so have to create a easy to use
software. i have choosen Mach3/CSLabs for controlling the machine because
- its cheap
- its easy to use
- and on the main point with the screenset's, scripts and all the other open
functionality it gives me all the possibilities to create a package witch is exactly
what i need for this machine.
therefore i have to create test scenarios to make sure that all the particular
functions are working propperly.
i have also tested the homing by using dobutton(24) dobutton(23) and dobutton(22).
it ended up in a Error found Art Code 3336.
i was not able to find a list, witch discribes what this code means.
as long i am not not able to get this basic functionality working lets say up to 99%
stable it makes no sense to test further functions.
