Hi Kenny.

  I followed the input chart in the galil plug-in manual like you suggested and now the lights in the diagnostic page light up correctly.  However I still cannot get the home switch to me recognized when i do reference all home.  Works in smart terminal fine. but in mach the motor just keeps moving and the home switch does nothing(except turn the yellow light on).  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong and what I need to try next.  I tried using the limits for home choice in the plug in and still nothing.  it stops the axis(limit) but doesn't home the axis. 

Should look for something in the debug file?

Thanks for the help.

Galil / Home switch set up

Hi All,

I am setting up a DMC-2143 with the SDM-2042 stepper driver attached.  No matter how I configure the home switch it won't work(meaning i start homing then trigger the switch and nothing) when using mach3.  It works fine when i am using the DMC Smart terminal.  The switch is recognized and the home cycle completes as normal.  If I try to home in Mach3 the switch is not recognized.  The limits work fine, both settings (active high and low).  I am using the home input on the SDM-2042.  One thing I have noticed is that in the data record of smart terminal, the axis switches for the " State of home input" is not effected by selecting home active low in the plug-in config.

Also are ports and pins setting necessary?  As I am not using a printer port and the limits are working  I am guessing no.

Thanks
