Title: reference all problem
Post by: Maxpayload on June 21, 2020, 02:30:57 AM

I am a beginner
i do config. my maschine in Mach4 but i got problems with direction of X and Y achses

If the motor in neg direction -> everything goes well and i can reference all achses with reference switch BUT !!! the moving direction in G-Code is contrawise ?

If i turned the direction in pos direction -> G-Code direction is similar BUT !!! i can not Reference all because the drive is contrawise to reference switch

thank you

Set the axis direction so that it is correct when running g-code, and then in the 'Homing/Soft Limits' settings you can reverse the direction of the axis when homing

problem is solved :D

reference switch and Home Switch are the same ..

my solution is: inverse the direction by Homing and make inverse the Soft Limits
in addition : Disable Limits While Homing controler configuration
