Title: Can't get mach3 to home
Post by: Dan Cook on December 05, 2023, 03:04:12 PM

I can't seem to get mach 3 to home.  My DRO's do not turn green and my soft limit doesn't turn green. I set the limit switches (X,Y to their coordinates and Z to its minus coordinate. I can get my machine to go to Zero, But  when hitting Ref to Zero my machine want to move only my Z axis to the limit switch and cause a hit limit switch to stop the machine. can't get the soft limit switch to turn green

Same issue! Did you find the solution? I tried checking the homing switch settings in Mach3 but everything is ok

In ports and pins, disable all the axis limit switches and just have home switches enabled and try homing.
