Title: Hicon 7866 homing slave axis
Post by: stock3000gt on February 23, 2020, 08:59:52 AM

I am having trouble getting my dual y axis motors to home properly. The Y side keeps bouncing on the switch or the A side will try to go the other direction after y trigger the home switch. I have tried everything I can think of my firmware is up to date, I am using the latest plug in, and my settings are as follows.
Homing/softlimits page

x0 Pos 2
y1 Pos 3
z2 Pos 1
a3 Neg 3
have tried with a3 with a pos and with a 4 no change.

Axis Mapping
a3 has no check and is slaved under y1 under slave 1

Input signals page
Motor 1 Home enabled Hicon P11 input 10
Motor 3 Home enabled Hicon P11 input 12

every now and again I will get limit switch Y++ tripped or Homing cancelled for Motor 3.

Any help is appreciated.
