but i am trying to ref all
when i click ref all home the z starts to go up but i have to press resset because it wont stop

Please attach your xml as it will be the quickest way to see all of your settings and also allow simulation with them.
One thing however is V066 has serious issues and I would recommend you go to an earlier version, 062 is my choice.
You will get 062 here

i was not shure witch one xml
-
Well i was able to go further. i did uninstal the .o63 version and install the .062 version and had better luck.
i was able to ref the x and y but the z is giving me problemes. i ref them and then when i close the program it doesnt not save there is a message that comes up that ask me a question firmaware changes save yes or no either or they still dont save any insite on what i am doing wrong
I have include my xml files
-
I think that is the Mach exe you have attached rather than the xml.
I eventually managed to test out your xml you attached previously and in simulation it was working fine. The reason I could not test before was I needed a computer with a 32bit OS so I could simulate the inputs.

why could i not ref all home then. with the other version that i installed today i can ref x and y not the z i will send the correct xml
thank

V066 is screwed up, should not be on the site as far as I am concerned but Brian doesn't bother and just leaves it there.
What exactly is your problem with the Z? What is the message exactly? Can you take a screenshot and attach it?

yesterday was bale to ref all exept the z would not pull back and did the roadrunner file with a felt n
marker drew it perfectly, closed and save d settings àtoday tried it could not do nothng à
i could not drw the roadrummer
-
If the Z was not pulling back was it going into reset?
Hood
-
No It Was just stopping ând not pulling back .

You Where saying
that 066 si in bas shape si what version should i download
-
Ok, well if it is reaching the switch and not triggering an E-Stop then it must be backing off until the switch has again closed. It may just be that the switch is sensitive and you do not physically see the backoff.
You will find 062 here

That is the version i am using right know. some one esle had suggested me that. With that version i can at least ref my x and y but the z not yet.
i tried yesterday to check programing did the set set up again distance travelled. when i shut it down it ask me to save fixtures i said yes. today i will try to ref all to.
My question today is about the distant traveling back.
the z should you place -2 in the home off since its travelling away
-
Can you trigger the limit switch with your finger to verify the limit is in fact working?
One other thing I had to do, was increase the debounce on my system to 250 to allow the switch time to reset during the ref command.
(Not sure is thats the right thing to do, but it allowed the system to work correctly)
