Hi everybody!
i'm having a homing problem with my Slave Axis(A)...
( i have one home switch for each axis) when i hit the all-ref button X & A axis moves toward home position, A axis hits first the home switch and starts moving away even if the X axis never touched the home switch... and the X axis never moves to the switch....
i need both axis to find the switches and i tried almost everything in the forum but i still can't make it work.
all My switches are in series to the same pin (i tried wiring the A axis in paralel but nothing happened)
i don't know what i am doing wrong... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
i also want to know if it is possible to run a macro that send the reset signal everytime i open mach3
i want to load my programs and push the reset button with the same macro in the initialization string, this is what i got but didn't work (still have to click on the reset button to autolad)
Const ResetButton = 1021
DOButton (ResetButton)
Loadfile("C:\mach3\Gcode\drilling4scr.txt")
End
thanks !

The X and A home switches MUST be on different pins.
And you must go to General Config, and uncheck "Home Slave with Master".

i tried that way this morning but my A axis seems to not detect the limit switch and keeps moving until i push the e-stop!
the ''4 Zero'' button remains in red and dont let me do anything else

Now i have this problem with the macro, i made a macro that allowed me to load my program without clicking in the reset button but i just can't remember how i did it!!!! it's so frustrating that i can't find the solution...

Greg my problem was that i set my A axis with 20% of speed in homing and limits and my X axis with 10%... i can't believe i struggled for days and didn't see it
Thank you!!!!
