Due to my stupidity, I had to reload mach4 onto a new computer. In the process of re-setting up the machine, I am trying to home the axis. They will home just fine but when I do, Mach4 quits communicating with the ESS. Any ideas on why this is happening? And more importantly, how to fix it... The machine will move just fine until i home it. Oh, and I am not homing to switches yet. I am homing in place. I have disconnected all the switches. I am not getting any errors.

I figured it out finally. Apparently, if you have one motor slaved to another, you only have to home the master. Who knew?
And BTW, if you are curious, I knocked the first computer off the stand with a ladder while installing a new outdoor faucet for my wife. No good deed ever goes unpunished.

Maybe next year will be better ? Good luck we are all in this together, keep your stick on the ice.
