Title: home command gets interrupted
Post by: widpyro on January 21, 2011, 07:49:35 PM

Hi Folks,
I have wired my home switchs and did not use a shielded, grounded cable as suggested. I used just single wires and they are intertwined with the motor wires in several places. When I press the "ref home" switch it takes several tries to get my mill table to the home position. The motors stop and I have to keep hitting the button.

My question: does this sound like interference on the home switches? I'm hoping it does and that my "lazy" wiring is the cause of that. Also were would you suggest I ground the shield?

Thanks,
-jim

Yes. try setting a high debounce interval on General Config page and see if that helps, try 2000.
Best though to sort your wiring out.
