Title: Soft Limits Not Working
Post by: brw0513 on February 12, 2013, 02:13:23 AM

Still learning and enjoying the process  :)  Although I hope this is not a dumb question  ???

I've set up the Soft Max and Soft Min limits under Config/Homing/Limits.  But Mach3 lets me drive (via system hotkeys) right past them.  Is there some other step required to enable the soft limits I've set?

Thanks.

You need to switch them on. Also do you home the machine?

Yes Hood.  My router is homed using a photo-interrupter switch on the X, Y & Z axes.

I'll try again tonight.  Probably user error again.
