Hey folks, I'm having a bit of an issue. I'm finally setting up my BC head. I know, it's only been years, but well, I've been out of the country and my jobs on the mill only needed to be 3 axis until now. Anyway, I'm setting it up, and am having trouble setting the home switches for the B/C head. I have the B home switch set to port 2, pin 2, and C home switch set to port 2, pin 3. If I manually connect the 5 volt to pin 2, it shows flags of both B and C home in the Diagnostics tab. If I connect 5 volt to pin 3, I don't get a flag. Note, this is without any home switches actually connected to the pins. I'm in troubleshoot mode. If I choose other pins for B home, it still does the same when closing the circuit. It always throws B and C, but never individually. Is there a setting in Mach for this maybe? I'm at my wits end!

It appears it might be due to the 6 axis screen set on the mach3 site, a bug? Is there a known good 6 axis screen set?

This was a problem with the 6 axis screen set. I was able beg borrow and steal one from Doughty Drive. Theirs worked fine. I'm lucky I bought one of their drives, as the one on the Mach 3 site is broooooken.
