Title: Problem zeroing all axis.
Post by: Jmorris on October 21, 2014, 08:56:28 PM

This should be an easyone for someone that knows what they are doing.  Everything was working fine and now my Y will not home and I don't know what I did.  Maybe I just need som sleep.

In any case there is an indicator (red/green) next to each zero "button" and it looks like I have it turned off some how.  What is the fix?

Thanks.

Thanks, after adding an XHC pendant it looks like it allowed me to crash the machine into the optical limit switch, making it active at all times, not sure why anything worked.

I finally had time to repair it today and added a positive mechanical stop to keep it from crashing again.

Any help getting them to work or should I just ditch the pendant?

Sorry for the beginner questions but thanks for your time.
