Title: homing problems Hicon and Mach4
Post by: a3dcreator on December 28, 2016, 12:15:50 PM

Hello I am having some homing Problems with the Hicon Integra and Mach4.
It seems to trigger an Estop but never moves back like its supposed to to get out of the estop state and away from the sensor.
here are some images that show my settings in mach and hicon.

im just trying the Y axis for now.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

here are 2 more images.
debug log and machine diagnostics.
as you can see its triggering the sensor. but does not behave like a home. instead just triggring an ESTOP.

VSI Device manager has an option to configure EStop pins directly in motion controller- have you checked there?

I am using similar setup and I don't have such issue.

You have your soft min and max set to zero. Try disable soft limits then test.
